Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur winnings confirmed

Arsenal and Tottenham Hotspur have finished their Premier League season after the final round of fixtures on Sunday with disappointing campaigns across north London.

The Gunners placed second in the top flight with Spurs finishing in a lowly 17th. A huge 15 places may separate the fierce rivals but they share the same feeling of a season gone wrong.

Arsenal had hoped to challenge Liverpool for the Premier League title but fell well away from that race, finishing 10 points behind their rivals. Meanwhile, Spurs are still in party mode following their midweek Europa League triumph, but finished just one place above the drop zone and 28 points off the top six.

Premier League clubs must work to stay within financial regulations and keep the books balanced. One aspect that helps a summer of spending is cash injected into the club by Premier League prize money and, with the table finalised, we now have a better idea of how much Arsenal and Spurs will receive.

Last season, top flight clubs received a total of £2.84 billion, which comprised of six payments through a central revenue system. For the 2023/24 season, Football 365 reports that the difference in prize money for each Premier League position was around £2.8 million.

This differs each season – it was £3.1 million in 2022/23 – but can offer a rough guide of how much each Premier League club will have injected into their finances ahead of the summer window. If the money was the same last season, the following would be given out:

1. Liverpool – £53.4 million
2. Arsenal – £53.5 million
3. Manchester City – £50.7 million
4. Chelsea – £47.9 million
5. Newcastle United – £45.1 million
6. Aston Villa – £42.2 million
7. Nottingham Forest – £39.4 million
8. Brighton – £36.7 million
9. Brentford – £33.8 million
10. Fulham – £31 million
11. Crystal Palace – £28.2 million
12. AFC Bournemouth – £25.4 million
13. Everton – £22.5 million
14. West Ham – £19.7 million
15. Manchester United – £16.9 million
16. Wolves – £14 million
17. Tottenham Hotspur – £11.3 million
18. Ipswich Town – £8.5 million
19. Leicester City – £5.7 million
20. Southampton – £2.8 million

Speaking about his side’s second place finish following the win over Southampton, Mikel Arteta said: “If you cannot be the best, be the best of the rest. This season has been the toughest, and we need to value that. Understand what has taken us that far. There is not much that needs to happen to go one further.”

Meanwhile, when Ange Postecoglou was asked about the upcoming summer window, he said: “[We can push on] if we do get some good experience in the transfer window with experienced players. I’m not talking age so much as experience at this level. Every club that gets into the Champions League sees it as a chance to strengthen with players who are comfortable at that level, not stepping up to the level.”
