You know the ol' "No way is Blankity Blank worth ?x Alan Shearer" debate? I found that the Bank of England have an interest calculator on their website. Going off of the fee quoted on Transfermarkt, 1 Alan Shearer in today's money is 30.2million, which makes Kante worth a little over 1 Alan Shearer. Do with that information what you will.  

I'm not quite sure what you've done, have you just calculated what £15m quid would earn you in interest in 20 years? Or do you mean adjusted for inflation?

Either way, transfer fees increases are far more linked to the massive increases in revenue from tv deals and the like, inflation would hardly scratch the surface.

Adjusted for inflation yeah. At least I hope that's what I did.

Paul Tomkins has (had?) a pretty handy chart showing the record transfers and what they'd be worth in today's market, so he could gauge the 'real' world record transfer. Clicky.
