PREMIER League clubs are putting the boot into struggling parents by hiking children's replica shirt prices as high as £60.

Nearly half the top flight teams are charging more for new season kit for all ages despite their fans battling the cost of living crisis.

Spurs top the table for the dearest kids shirt at £60 - with the whole kit including shorts and socks a net-busting £110.

Arsenal, Aston Villa and Everton have also put up prices for young supporters' replica tops by £5 to £50, an 11% increase. As have Brighton, up £3 to £45, and newly promoted Nottingham Forest, now charging £45, up 12.5%.
