That transfer fee looks like an absolute bargain for this man

The Hornets signed Abdoulaye Doucoure from Rennes in 2016, shelling out a club record £9.4 million. The central midfielder from France could not settle in quickly as he had a forgettable 2nd half of the season, scoring just once in 20 games.

This season though, the highly-rated midfielder has been in stunning form, having already netted 6 goals from midfield helping the Hornets achieve a great start to their current Premier League campaign. With his box to box abilities, the midfielder now looks like a complete steal.

#16 West Brom (£10.2 million)

The English midfielder might be on the plane to Russia

Next on the list is another Englishman who holds the record for the highest transfer fee in January for West Brom. The Baggies spent £10.2 million on Jake Livermore to sign him from Hull City in 2017.

With West Brom having an abundance of average central midfielders in their squad already, spending a club record fee on another midfielder seemed a bit puzzling.

But surprisingly, Livermore has held his own at the Hawthorns becoming an all-action midfielder that Tottenham hoped they unearthed. A Spurs academy graduate, Livermore has gone on to play 7 times for England, with 6 of his appearances coming after moving to the Hawthorns.
