Arsenal becomes only the second soccer club in history to boast a team worth more than $1 billion

Gunners becomes only the second team in global football to have a roster valued at more than £1 billion.

Only the second team in global football, Arsenal, now has a roster worth more than €1 billion (£852.8m). 

Following an excellent 2022–23 season in which Mikel Arteta's team finished second in the Premier League, the Gunners are rising up the ranks wherever you look.

Additionally, Arsenal has joined an exclusive club of clubs with a valuation above $1 billion, or more specifically, $1.09 billion, according to Transfermarkt, as they make their Champions League comeback.

The top-18 players are a significant element that adds up to €895 million, while the average market value of their players is estimated to be €34.17 million.

Following the club's spending binge during the summer, that amount is also probably going to rise. For £62 million, the north London team has already acquired Kai Havertz from Chelsea.

Declan Rice, the captain of West Ham, is anticipated to follow suit after agreeing to a £105 million transfer price with Arsenal. A statement is anticipated to be released soon.

David Ornstein of The Athletic also said that the Gunners and Ajax have achieved a complete agreement for the purchase of Jurrien Timber in a deal of €40 million (£4.1 million), including €5 million in incentives.
