We have looked through each Premier League team and counted up just how much money was spent on assembling their current playing squad. As a point to note, all of the figures used are from Transfermarkt, who use Euros rather than Pounds for their valuations.
Of course, spending large sums of money is no guarantee of success, but each of the traditional top six appears fairly high up on this list which is no real surprise.
In January, Chelsea shot above Manchester City up to the top spot in this list, having spent over €300million in the transfer window on Enzo Fernandez, Mykhailo Mudryk, Benoit Badiashile, Noni Madueke, Andrey Santos, David Datro Fofana – plus Joao Felix for a considerable loan fee.
Todd Boehly hasn't quite seen a return on his original investment at Chelsea so far as the club have struggled in the Premier League this season, despite their spending spree in both transfer windows he's been in charge during.
Man City aren't far behind with €960million spent on their squad. What is even more amazing is the fact that City managed to record a profit in 2022, despite signing Erling Haaland amongst others.
Their profits are largely down to the sales of Raheem Sterling, Gabriel Jesus and Oleksandr Zinchenko, while £60million full-back Joao Cancelo has been loaned out to Bayern Munich. Despite the profits they have made this year, they are still way out ahead when it comes to spending itself.
Local rivals Manchester United also rank very highly on the list with a spend of €876million on their squad. Erik ten Hag will be keen to further bolster the squad in the summer no doubt, especially if their takeover gets completed and he can guide them back into the Champions League – which they look on track to do.
Jurgen Klopp has done a fine job with Liverpool and they have usually managed to hit the nail on the head when it comes to their recruitment. Latest signing Cody Gakpo didn't quite hit the ground running but he's growing into his new surroundings and will be hoping to be the next star to shine at Anfield.
While Arsenal's rebuild under Mikel Arteta had its doubts to begin with, they are undoubtedly heading in the right direction as they currently top the Premier League with the youngest squad in the league.
The Gunners have spent over half a billion Euros on Arteta's squad, which puts them comfortably ahead of the likes of Newcastle and Spurs.
Newcastle have rapidly risen up the spending table following their lucrative takeover in October 2021. Eddie Howe has made good use of the funds so far as he already has them challenging for a spot in Europe.
Here is the full table which ranks each Premier League club by how much their squad cost to assemble. Note: these totals don't include transfer fees for players out on loan, but just members of the first-team squad.
1. Chelsea – €1.01billion 2. Man City – €960.6million 3. Man United – €876.2million 4. Liverpool – €709.05million 5. Arsenal – €531.5million 6. Newcastle – €458.95million 7. Tottenham – €390.3million 8. West Ham – €379.7million 9. Leicester – €362.1million 10. Wolves – €353.9million 11. Aston Villa –€341.6million 12. Southampton – €293.1million 13. Everton – €288.1million 14. Leeds – €241.4million 15. Crystal Palace – €217.9million 16. Bournemouth – €209.5million 17. Nottingham Forest – €187.6million 18. Fulham – €137.0million 19. Brentford – €124.1million 20. Brighton – €111.1million

Final thoughts!
Amad saved Manchester United for an embarrassment. I am pretty sure at 82nd minute no one at Old Trafford believed it could be 3-1 for United.
But, credit to them, they hang on. Top class changes for Amorim as well.
Meantime, Southampton would be really disappointed to not earn any point from this match. If it was not for Onana, they could have scored 3-4 goals. But, as they said, if you do not kill them, they will hunt you. United did that.
Amad becomes the second youngest Manchester United player to score a Premier League hat-trick after Wayne Rooney.
First win at home for Ruben Amorim and he will be relieved. They now move to No. 12 while Southampton stay at the bottom of the table with only 6 points.
So, that was it from my end tonight. Thank you for staying with us. Good night. We will see you in another LIVE blog soon.

1. Liverpool FC: (69 trophies)
The Reds are the most decorated club in English football, after beatingChelsea in the Carabao Cup final in February 2024. They are now ahead of their fierce rivals, Manchester United in the list.
Jurgen Klopp was the man to have guided Liverpool to the top of the list. The German won the Premier League, Champions League, and domestic cup competitions during his sparkling spells at Anfield.
Liverpool faced relegation in the 1894, 1903, and 1954 seasons, but after their promotion to the main division in 1962, they never faced any kind of relegation or demotion in their history.
Since their Promotion, they have won many trophies and became in powerhouse of English football. Back in 2001, they managed to secure a treble when they secured the FA Cup, Premier League, and UEFA Cup.
Manchester United fans will be forever grateful for the huge amount of success brought by Sir Alex Ferguson. The Scottish manager dominated the Premier League with the Red Devils.
The former Red Devils manager won 13 Premier League titles. The former Red Devil's boss registered themselves in the list of one of the most successful clubs in England.
Manchester United was already a huge club before Sir Alex's managerial career. But, he United an European Giant, winning every title possible.
United's most recent cup success came in the FA Cup final triumph against their city rivals Manchester City to round of the 2023/24 campaign.
Arsenal with 48 trophies are the third most successful club in English football at the moment. Rich with past glory and a few minor success, they are still one of the most prestigious clubs in European football.
However, it has been decades since Arsenal lifted the biggest trophy in English Football. The Gunner's triumph in 2004 was perhaps the most impressive success the league has ever seen.
Arsene Wenger was the reason for the Gunner's success. The Frenchman filled his team with legendary players like Thierry Henry, Patrick Viera, and Robert Pires and went undefeated entire season in 2003-04.
The Invincible season was the last time the Gunners side won the league title. However, the north London club boasts of their success in the FA Cup.
Despite not winning any bigger trophy in recent years, Arsenal still find themselves in the list of most successful football clubs in England.
Manchester City were crowned Champions League Winners for the first time in their history in June 2023 under Pep Guardiola. They faced Inter Milan in the final in Istanbul, a magnificent goal scored by Rodri and that was the only goal that helped City win their first UCL trophy.
In that 2022/23 season, Guardiola's lads managed to win the FA Cup and the League title, as they completed a historic treble, which helped them become one of most successful teams of the current era.
The Citizens have now moved above Chelsea and into fourth position when it comes to the most successful club in England. However they are still 12 trophies behind Arsenal and have a long way to catch their local rival Manchester United.
Their recent success and trophy run is the reason that they are one of the most successful clubs in England.
Chelsea had enjoyed moderate success before the Russian clique Roman Abramovich took over the club in July 2003. Few domestic cup successes were still impressive to have in the trophy cabinet.
In 2004, Roman Abramovich appointed Portuguese manager, Jose Mourinho, which was the real turning point for the Blues' success. Their dominance under the Mourinho was enough to declare the Blues as one of the biggest in Europe and England.
The Portuguese manager was the first boss of the Blues, who got an extremely healthy transfer budget at Stamford Bridge. He won two Premier League titles in his two back-to-back seasons in West London.
Since then, Chelsea have won the trophy a further two times, as well as two Champions Leagues.
Tottenham often find themselves as a joke for rival fans due to their lack of recent success. The last time a major silverware was brought back to the white side of North London was in 2008 after Jonathan Woodgate scored the winning goal in the Carabao Cup final against city rivals, Chelsea.
For the past 15 years, the Spurs have gone through this dry spell with different players and managers. Jose Mourinho, Antonia Conte, and currently Ange Postecoglou, all failed to bring silverware back for Spurs.
Because of their previous glory days, the Spurs are still comfortably in the top 10 of this list with 26 titles and has a tag for being one of the most successful clubs in England.
Aston Villa are in the 7th position with 25 major trophies In their cabinet. The Lions won Most of their trophies in 1980s and 90s which help them to rank high in this list.
Some modern fans may be unaware that Aston Villa lifted the European Cup (Champions League) in 1982. Villa is a giant club with a long history, they lifted seven Premier League trophies, with the last coming in 1981.
However in most recent years the villa fans have not been able to test any success. Hopefully Unai Emery and his lads will be able to bring back glorious days shortly to Villa Park.
Everton, the city rival of the Premier League giants, Liverpool, have not won anything since 1995. The Merseyside Club lifted the FA Cup at the end of the 1994/95 season. A defeat in the final of the same competition against Chelsea in 2009 is the closest the Merseyside Club have come till then.

Great second half from Liverpool but it was not good enough to win all the three points from the City Ground.
Nottingham's winning streak is over but they remain undefeated in last seven games. Outstanding!
Liverpool would be disappointed not find a way in the first half. But, Nottingham were top class, chasing the ball, running around and throwing their bodies.
Chris Wood with his 13th goal of the season gave Nottingham the lead. Super subs Diogo Jota and Tsimikas gave Liverpool the equaliser.
Chance for Trent to receive the ball in the middle of the box, but he failed to control the pass.
Maybe it was the last chance for them to score.

However, this performance was not sufficient enough, and Al-Nassar was not able to secure any silverware like the Saudi Pro Trophy, Saudi Pro Cup, or the King's Cup. But his presence in the club leads to some major arrivals in Al-Nassar in the form of Sadio Mane and Marcelo Brozovic.
After twelve years, he reunited with the 'Red Devils' at the end of his prime. Nevertheless, at 37 years old, he scored 24 goals and emerged as a leading goal scorer for United in the following year. He had scored a total of 27 goals in two seasons in his second spell with Manchester United, a short spell nonetheless.
