The Premier League has become a land of giants: why top clubs acquired the tallest players.

Transfer spending in the Premier League reached a record

According to The Sun: Winning in the Premier League is not easy, so key players return.

This summer, a record £3 billion was spent, with £130 million going to acquire Alexander Isak, who became the most expensive player in the UK.

Huge purchases at Liverpool

The signing of the 6-foot 4-inch Swede was not the only big signing for Liverpool.

French striker Hugo Ekitike, 6 feet 3 inches, was also signed from Eintracht Frankfurt.

Despite this, they still trail Benjamin Sesko from Manchester United (6 feet 5 inches) and the tallest debutant - 6 feet 6 inches Nick Woltemade from Newcastle, who is set to fill Isak's shoes at St James' Park.

Can we hope that English clubs will start playing aggressive football again, considering the decades when teams tried to imitate Guardiola's style? Maybe not quite yet - but let's hope this summer's signings mean the end of the 'false nines' era.

This topic has always been about strikers. They bring victory.

The physical advantage of strikers

Offensive players bring the biggest profits, and that will certainly not change. The only question is - will a sufficient number of them be ready to develop.

Guardiola's passing revolution has led to significant changes in academies and higher levels, as more emphasis is placed on players who can move, not just shoot the ball.

Adapting Guardiola's tactics to the 4-3-3 system has improved the physical advantage of strikers who can hold the ball.

And it is worth noting that Guardiola's tactics have influenced many clubs: practically every one of them has now a big striker following the last transfer window.

Even stubborn Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta eventually agreed to sign a real striker after attempting to use Kai Havertz last season.

Although he is not as tall as others, Viktor Gyökeres, at 6 feet 2 inches, is still impressive. Manchester United completely renewed their attacks, and Slovenian Sesko is waiting for his chance.

There are all grounds to believe that he will make a serious impact, although it may be hard for him to score more goals than his rivals.

A huge selection of new stars

Not just the top are looking for newcomers.

Wolverhampton, which resisted Newcastle's bid for 6-foot 4-inch striker Jorgen Strand Larsen, spent £24 million on 6-foot 6-inch Nigerian Tolu Arokodare to bolster their attack.

Fulham recently introduced John Kusi-Asare, who signed a loan deal with Bayern. He stands at 6 feet 5 inches, but is only 18 years old, so it is uncertain at what stage of growth he will stop.

It seems something in the water of Sweden is really working, as he is a countryman of Isak and Gyökeres.

Their goal is to replicate the success of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, who, at 6 feet 5 inches, became popular at Manchester United when José Mourinho signed him in 2016. Fans hope that Sesko will be able to match him in scoring goals.

One thing is clear: this year's transfer market has shown that size matters. Now it remains to be seen who will earn the crown in the 'Land of Giants'.
