Arsenal may have lost the 2022/23 Premier League title to Man City but the Gunners are currently sitting top as the most valuable squad in the world.

The Gunners went up to become the only second team in the world to have a squad worth over €1billion, just behind title rivals Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola and his men overtook Arsenal to win the Premier League last season following the Gunners drop in form and injuries.

Despite losing the title to City, the North London team have surpassed the latest rivals in terms of the value of their squad, which is now €1.21bn.

This is coming after a very busy transfer window which saw Mikel Arteta’s men land Kai Havertz from Chelsea for £65 million last month.

They have also signed Jurrien Timber from Ajax for a reported fee of £34m, before they landed Declan Rice from West Ham in a deal worth £105m.


Totally, Arsenal have already spent over £200 million this summer which has seen their squad value skyrocket.

Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is quite happy with the old team’s dealings in the market this summer and says they’ll win the league next season.

Speaking about the club’s signings to Eurosport, Wenger said that: “I think it is a good investment.”

“Overall, personally I think they have made good buys as they are players who are now mature, 23, 24, but still young so can stay together for a few years.”

“They will be under more pressure after last year, but they have learned a lot and they can show they can deal with that pressure now,” the Frenchman concluded.

Despite losing Lionel Messi this summer, PSG have increased their value from around €882.55 million in April by more than €100,000.
