Leeds United have spent less assembling their squad than all but three other Premier League clubs.
Top flight clubs have submitted their squad lists for the 2020/21 season.
Each side names a 25-man list of players as well as an unlimited number of under-21 players.
Players in those lists cost their clubs a combined total of almost £5.9 billion in transfer fees.
The squad Leeds have submitted to the league cost £120.3m in transfer fees.
Only Burnley (£82.6m), Fulham (£94.4m), and West Brom (£97.7m) have spent less, while Sheffield United spent £120.7m.
Manchester City have the most expensive squad in the division.
The club spent £810.9m in transfer fees assembling the squad they’ve submitted to the Premier League.
That’s almost £200m more than the next most expensive squad in the division.
Manchester United's squad cost a combined total of £628.1m in transfer fees.
Chelsea have the next most expensive squad (£577.1m), followed by Arsenal (£454.8m), Liverpool (£454.3m), and Everton (£388.1m).
Liverpool would be higher up this list had it not been for the injury to Virgil van Dijk in the Merseyside Derby.
With the Dutch centre-back facing a lengthy spell on the sidelines after suffering a knee injury, Liverpool have chosen not to include him in their 25-man squad.
If you were to include his £75m transfer fee in Liverpool’s total then Jurgen Klopp’s side would be fourth in the list at £529.3m.

The fact that Leeds currently sit tenth in the Premier League table and have taken points off the most expensive squad in the division is another indicator of the excellent job that Marcelo Bielsa has done in West Yorkshire.
Leeds head to Villa Park to take on Dean Smith's Aston Villa side on Friday night and will be up against a squad that cost almost twice as much to assemble than the one Bielsa is in charge of.
