With the 2o17/18 football season underway, it's fair to say that money has dominated the summer headlines.

Premier League clubs have collectively spent over a billion pounds on signings already, while Paris Saint-Germain broke the world transfer record when it spent €222 million (£200 million) on Neymar.

Clubs are boosted by record TV revenues. This helps them pay players huge wages. Footballers are also free to pursue off-the-pitch sponsorship deals.
