Arsenal experienced a remarkable £150 million increase in overall revenue last season, according to Football Insider.
The Deloitte 2025 Money League reveals that the Premier League club achieved a record-breaking revenue of £615 million for the 2023-24 season, representing a 32% increase from the previous year’s £465 million.
The north London club climbed to seventh place globally for overall revenue, surpassing Liverpool, Tottenham, and Chelsea. This growth is attributed to efforts by Emirates executives to boost the club’s commercial performance.
Commercial revenue rose significantly by £53 million, from £169 million in 2022-23 to £222 million last season. Broadcast income also saw a sharp rise, increasing from £191 million to £262 million, while matchday revenue jumped from £103 million to £131 million.
However, Arsenal’s wage bill surged from £235 million in 2022-23 to £323 million last season, a 39% increase. This spike was driven by high-profile signings in the summer of 2023, including Declan Rice, Kai Havertz, and Jurrien Timber, with transfer deals totaling close to £200 million. David Raya also joined on loan from Brentford, while only a few high-earning players departed to offset the rising salary costs.
Despite falling short of winning the Premier League title, finishing behind Manchester City, Arsenal now sits second in the current league standings, trailing Liverpool by six points with Liverpool holding a game in hand.
The Gunners are reportedly targeting new additions before the transfer window closes on February 3. Former Manchester United chief scout Mick Brown has informed Football Insider that Arsenal is keeping a close eye on Brentford’s Yoane Wissa as they aim to bolster their attacking options.
