Premier League’s Big Six and Their Attacking Midfielders The Premier League’s summer transfer window has once again highlighted the spending power of England’s top clubs. Tottenham Hotspur’s late £52 million capture of former RB Leipzig star Xavi Simons means every member of the so-called ‘Big Six’ now boasts at least one high-profile attacking midfielder. Collectively, these elite sides have invested £387 million in players for this pivotal role, underlining the importance of creativity and goal threat in title-chasing campaigns. Yet, as always, expensive arrivals do not guarantee immediate success. How each club integrates their attacking midfielders could define their season.…
