Jeremy Doku also hits that £7.5m mark, meaning you’ll have to make some tough choices. Even their goalkeepers aren’t cheap, with Gianluigi Donnarumma priced at £5.5m and James Trafford at £5.0m. Antoine Semenyo leads the midfield prices at £8.5m, indicating a strong expectation for his points return. Omar Marmoush joins Haaland upfront at £7.0m.
