The term 'English tax' has been popularised online, used to express the idea that English footballers are overpriced when compared to their counterparts from other countries.
It's a sentiment that has been around for a while, but one that has been strengthened by Chelsea paying £35 million for Danny Drinkwater, Manchester City paying £100 million for Jack Grealish, and Harry Maguire joining Manchester United for £80 million.
