#9 Arsenal
Arsene Wenger has 'spent some f***ing money', but the result has only been 3 FA Cups in 4 years, with the Gunners well off the pace when it comes to the Premier League and the UEFA Champions League. There was plenty of criticism of the quality at the Frenchman's disposal after their 4-0 loss to Liverpool, but the fact remains that Arsenal have an expensively assembled squad.
The Gunners have spent a total of €416 million to acquire all the names on their books, with the worth of the squad increasing by €35 million compared to last season.
Arsenal did break their transfer record this summer, bringing in Alexandre Lacazette from Lyon, but there were a fair number of departures as well, with the result that the Gunners ended this transfer window with a positive net spend, one of the few clubs to do so.
Here are the 5 most expensive players in Arsenal's current squad:
#1 Alexandre Lacazette - €53 million
#2 Mesut Ozil - €47 million
#3 Granit Xhaka - €45 million
#4 Alexis Sanchez - €42.5 million
#5 Shkodran Mustafi - €41 million
