Mikel Arteta quality shown as Arsenal rank sixth in wage bill way behind Man Utd and Chelsea

Premier League leaders Arsenal have the smallest wage bill in the 'big six'.

That is according to the Daily Mirror, who claim the Gunners spend £97,878,000 on wages, which is the sixth most in the division. Given the enormity of what their rivals around them spend, that makes Arsenal's current position in the table all the more impressive.

They sit five points clear at the top of the Premier League with 11 matches to play, despite those around them spending a great deal more on player wages. Manchester City are Arsenal's closest rivals at the top but spend almost double that of their title rivals, forking out £182,640,000, with Erling Haaland and Kevin de Bruyne among their highest earners.
