The Premier League net spend table since Mikel Arteta took over at Arsenal in 2019 | OneFootball

Arsenal have the third-highest net spend of any Premier League club since Mikel Arteta took the job, back in December 2019.

When Arteta took the job, Arsenal sat 10th in the Premier League table and were in desperate need of a rebuild.

After finishing 8th in his first full season in charge, the club has been on an upward trajectory since then, having finished second for the last three consecutive years.

During that time, Arsenal have spent €1.138billion on transfer fees, with their biggest purchases being for Declan Rice, Viktor Gyorkeres and Eberechi Eze.

They’ve also sold several players over the last six and a half years, having recouped €241million via player sales.

In total, that gives Arsenal a net spend of -€632.28million since Arteta took the reins, which is the third highest in the Premier League.

Even if the Gunners spend heavily again this summer, they are still behind both Manchester United and Chelsea when it comes to net spend.

The Red Devils have a -€916million net spend since December 2019, while Chelsea top the list with a mammoth -€1.04billion net spend during that period.

While Manchester City have spent more money than Arsenal in recent years, they’ve also made considerably more through player sales, so rank three places lower than them on this list.

Liverpool are fifth with a net spend of -€629million since Arteta took over at Arsenal, while Spurs are fourth with a whopping net spend of -€769million.

At the opposite end of the list, Wolves are the only Premier League club with a positive net spend since Arteta took over at Arsenal.

Largely thanks to the sales of Matheus Cunha, Max Kilman and Matheus Nunes, Wolves have made a €12million profit from the transfer market since December 2019.
