Highest transfer fees received

The club's record sale came in July 2023, when they sold Viktor Gyökeres to Sporting CP for £20.5 million, which eclipsed the previous record in August 2000 of Robbie Keane to Inter Milan for £13 million. The sale of Chris Kirkland to Liverpool for £6 million in 2001 set a British record transfer fee for a goalkeeper and the sale of Phil Babb also to Liverpool in 1994 set a British record transfer fee for a defender.
