Arsenal dethrone Manchester City as the most valuable squad in football

Arsenal broke British transfer record when they signed Declan Rice

Arsenal are valued at a staggering €1.21 billion (£1.03 billion/$1.35 billion), which is £200 million higher than Manchester City's. The two arrivals from Rice and Timber are mostly responsible for the excellent rise.

The budget for Arsenal's team was set at €976 million ($1.09 billion/£837.8 million) before Havertz, Rice, and Timber joined. If there was any lingering doubt that their additions had enhanced Arteta's options, it should now be clear.

Declan Rice, a midfielder for West Ham and England, cost Arsenal £105 million ($137.2 million), shattering their previous club record.

Although Jurrien Timber and Kai Havertz joined the team earlier in the transfer window, the versatile midfielder was the third addition to the team this summer.

Overall, Mikel Arteta and Edu Gaspar were able to cross everything off their list for the eagerly awaited 2023–24 season during the summer window.

Many people still have a lot of work to do before the transfer window closes abruptly in September. While Thomas Partey's future remains unknown, a new midfielder is unquestionably at the top of the list, and there is still a chance that a new right-back may move to north London.

Prior to their participation in the Premier League and Champions League, the triple acquisition invigorated Arteta's team and given them a competitive advantage.

In reality, Arsenal's team is currently the most valuable in all of football as a result of improvements to their midfield and defence.

However, the 'process' cannot end here. In order to properly establish itself as one of the finest football teams, Arsenal hasn't won a trophy since 2020.

They were undoubtedly put on the right path by players like Bukayo Saka, Martin Odegaard, and William Saliba, but time alone will determine.
