The temptation of splashing the cash in the Premier League has cost numerous sides in the past before, with big-money signings failing to live up to the hype, and squads packed with new players struggling to gel under the pressure of top-tier football.

Amid the financial uncertainty caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, football clubs across the pyramid have been a little more cautious with their spending this season, but we've still seen a fair few high profile deals go through.

This is where Leeds United rank in the Premier League' s wins-per-pound-spent table, which looks (via Transfermarkt) at how much each club has invested in their current squad, and divides the total amount by the number of victories this season:

Current squad purchase value: £85.2m. Wins this season: 7. Cost per-win: £12.2m. Most expensive signing this season: Dale Stephens (£1m from Brighton).

19. 2nd - Burnley
