For those who don't know why British players are more expensive -

The registration rules require a PL squad to have a minimum of 7 homegrown (HG) players and 1 club-developed player.

(1/5)

Players are considered as ‘homegrown (HG)’ if and only if they were registered with clubs affiliated with the English FA and/or Welsh FA at least 3 years before turning 21, continuous or not, regardless of their nationality or age.

(2/5)

A ‘club-developed’ player is defined as one who has been registered to the club for at least a year before the end of his under-19 season.

(3/5)

Most of the players that spend a lot of time in the academy are indeed, British, although there are, of course, foreign HG players as well - most notably Paul Pogba. This makes clubs reluctant to sell HG players as they can be hard to replace with another HG player.

The "British tax" is a thing not because of media hype, but because of registration rules.
