Arsenal have the fourth-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 are now Premier League champions.
After finishing 8th in his first full season in charge, the club has been on an upward trajectory since and their 2026 title win has been in the post for a while.
During that time, Arsenal have spent €1.16billion 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 €279million via player sales.
In total, that gives Arsenal a net spend of €867.7million since Arteta took the reins, which is the fourth highest in the Premier League.
Even if the Gunners spend heavily again this summer, they are still behind both Manchester United, Tottenham and Chelsea when it comes to net spend.
The Red Devils have a €898million net spend since December 2019, while Chelsea top the list with a mammoth €1.046billion 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 one place lower than them on this list.
Liverpool are sixth with a net spend of €659million since Arteta took over at Arsenal, while Spurs are up to second with a whopping net spend of €953million.
At the opposite end of the list, Hull are the only Premier League club with a positive net spend since Arteta took over at Arsenal.
