Arsenal have been notoriously bad sellers in the market compared to the elite Premier League sides. Both Liverpool and Chelsea in particular have blown the Gunners out the water in this area, being able to demand big fees for surplus players.
Arsenal have made few sales of notes in the past few seasons with only Joe Willock, Emi Martinez and Alex Iwobi bringing in more than £15 million per sale in the past three summers. Meanwhile, Chelsea have seen Eden Hazard, Alvaro Morata, Tammy Abraham, Kurt Zouma and Fikayo Tomori bring in more than £200 million in total sales.
Although in more recent seasons Liverpool’s sales haven’t been big, mainly due to having already sold off their top talents for good money, their past business speaks for itself. Danny Ings, Dominik Solanke, Danny Ward, Philippe Coutinho, Mamadou Sakho, Christian Benteke, Jordan Ibe and Joe Allen brought in more than £250 million across four summers.
