Over the years, players contracted to clubs below the Premier League have commanded some hefty fees.

The BBC has snubbed the Red Roses by turning down the chance to show their upcoming matches against Canada – despite being offered the rights for free.
The only tags that have ever properly stuck with Mo Salah at Liverpool are 'selfish' and 'greedy'. That was always complete nonsense but especially so now.
Manchester United have scored nine goals and conceded 14 so clearly should have signed Kane. But it's alright because Hojlund 'showed he could match' him.
Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Tottenham's buy-back clause for Harry Kane will "not allow them to sign him again whenever they want".
Gerrard left Liverpool in 2015 after Rodgers told him his game time would be limited, only for Klopp to arrive two months later. Gerrard was 'devastated'.
Kai Havertz was very meh, then very good, to provide the strongest evidence yet that Mikel Arteta is putting a square peg in a round hole. Oh, and Arsenal were brilliant.
