Arsenal’s supremacy in north London has been confirmed once again – as they’re nearly worth more than two Tottenhams put together.

That’s according to Brand Finance, an asset valuation consultancy firm who have listed the 50 most valuable clubs in world football.

Although the report puts Spurs’ valuation at $360million (£231million) – which puts them tenth in the world – it still shows that their arch rivals Arsenal are valued almost DOUBLE at $703million (£453million).

Sorry Spurs fans (high five to the Gooners reading this).


Manchester United have risen from third to first to become the world’s first billion-dollar football brand, with the list also containing 18 British clubs, six of which are in the top 10.



Interestingly, despite winning an illustrious domestic treble, Barcelona have fallen two places to sixth in the report which explains:

‘As glorious as Barca’s record may be, it simply has not been able to harness its brand to the same extent as rivals Real Madrid [whose brand is $100 million more valuable] or the rapidly growing English teams.’

‘Thanks to sporting success and a squad stacked with legendary figures such as Messi and Neymar, Barcelona actually has the strongest brand of any club, rated AAA+ by Brand Finance.

‘However ‘brand strength’ only reflects the notional potential of the brand. For a club’s brand to generate income a business team that is as star-studded and tactically brilliant as the team on the pitch is required.’

Shoutout to Leicester City who got themselves up into 42nd position, Stoke City who sit in 26th spot and Southampton who jumped up to 18th to become one of the fastest growing clubs.
