How Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham's wage bills compare to rest of Premier League 'big six'

Arsenal currently sit top of the Premier League, two points ahead of second-placed Manchester City and eight ahead of Manchester United in third.

However, a recent report from The Times has revealed that the Gunners have the lowest wage bill when compared to the rest of the so-called English 'big six'. The report, which has compiled figures from club accounts over the course of the 2021/22 campaign, show that Arsenal spent £206 million on players' wages over the season, almost half the figure of the highest wage bill, which belonged to United (£384 million).

Elsewhere, Liverpool and Manchester City paid £366 million and £354 million respectively, with Tottenham Hotspur shelling out slightly more than their north London rivals (£209 million.) Chelsea, meanwhile, spent £333 million during the 2020/21 season, with their figures for the 21/22 campaign yet to be released.
