Tottenham has surpassed Arsenal and Chelsea to become the Premier League’s top matchday earners. According to UEFA’s latest figures reported by The Sun’s print edition, the club’s revenue has reached almost £550 million. Their gate receipts of £116 million last season place them just below Barcelona and Paris Saint-Germain among European clubs. This puts them ahead of big name clubs like Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Inter Milan, AC Milan, and Juventus. Despite this success, their £247 million wage bill is only the ninth highest in Europe, with Barcelona and PSG leading the way. Chairman Daniel Levy has received criticism in the past, but Spurs lead the way in a different category according to the report. Among Europe’s top 20 biggest earners, no team has a better wage-to-revenue ratio than Tottenham’s 46 percent. These figures are particularly significant given the current focus on PSR and FFP regulations. Additionally, Tottenham brought in an average of £71.23 per fan during the 2021-22 campaign, a figure that no other Premier League club could surpass. This success has been attributed to their move to a new stadium, as well as Levy’s contributions. The report also notes that Premier League clubs earned £5.5 billion in income last season, nearly double the £3.8 billion earned by LaLiga. It’s clear that the money continues to pour in for Premier League clubs, and Tottenham shows no signs of falling behind.
