How Sunderland’s squad value compares with Newcastle, Arsenal and Premier League rivals | OneFootball

Sunderland’s squad is valued at €327.03m, ranking 17th in the Premier League after the January window. The figure sets them well below Newcastle, Arsenal and several other rivals.

“I know him because we have worked with the recruitment structure on his profile. I think he is a strong, powerful tall winger with strong physical ability. He has this South American style of play as well, with the ability to be creative. He likes the one-v-one situations, he has this character. After that, he will probably need time to connect with his team-mates and the league, but you never know, sometimes it is really quick, sometimes it takes time. But we are really happy to have him,” he told The Echo.

Manchester City lead on €1.29bn, ahead of Arsenal on €1.27bn, Chelsea on €1.16bn and Liverpool on €1.04bn. Tottenham stand at €876.50m, Manchester United €719.15m and Newcastle United €709.55m. Sunderland sit just above Leeds United on €321.03m, Wolverhampton Wanderers on €311.35m and bottom-ranked Burnley on €251.65m.

Final-day business saw Patrick Roberts’ loan to Birmingham City become permanent, while Adil Aouchiche left for Schalke. Summer signing Simon Adingra will spend the rest of the season with Ligue 1 side Monaco, and Sunderland agreed a deal to sign Anderlecht winger Nilson Angulo.

On Monday, Sunderland beat Burnley at the Stadium of Light through two goals from Habib Diarra and a stunning strike from Chemsdine Talbi, moving into the top eight. They now visit league leaders and title favourites Arsenal on Saturday, before Liverpool travel to Wearside next Wednesday night.
