Last season’s Premier League runners-up Arsenal have invested around £200m in their squad this summer, making them the most valuable side in all of world football
There are six Premier League teams among the 10 most valuable clubs in world football, according to the most up-to-date figures on player values.
Mikel Arteta’s team have plenty of homegrown stars on their books, but have also invested heavily in the transfer market. Club record signing Declan Rice was among those to join the Gunners this summer, while Gabriel Jesus was among the big-money arrivals this time last year.
As Arteta’s men prepare for a first season back in the Champions League since the days of Arsene Wenger, their squad value has passed the £1bn threshold. They’re the only club in that position, but their closest challengers aren’t too far away.
Using numbers from Transfermarkt (all correct at the time of writing) and using their player valuations, Mirror Football has taken a closer look at the 10 most valuable squads in the world. While Arsenal lead the way, there’s a strong Premier League presence throughout.
