Arsenal’s fortunes have improved on and off the pitch since the return of Mikel Arteta as manager – with their squad value doubling in just four years.
Arsenal’ssquad value has doubled sinceMikel Artetawas appointed as their new manager back in 2019.
The Gunners, who are back in theChampions Leagueafter finishing second in thePremier Leaguelast season, have a wealth of young talent with Declan Rice on the way.
Arteta’s squad is estimated to be worth just shy of £1billion byTransfermarkt- having been £496m at the time of his return to the club from Manchester City.
Those values include £100m for Bukayo Saka and £80m for captain Martin Odegaard, as well as £70m for Gabriel Martinelli and over £60m for Gabriel Jesus and William Saliba.
That value will only go up when Rice is announced at the club from West Ham, with the site estimating his value at £80m.
Arteta led the club to FA Cup glory back in 2020 and has picked up six manager of the month awards with 103 wins from 180 fixtures.
The challenge is to now lead Arsenal to major honours, with Rice a huge step forward in their bid to topple Manchester City.
Arteta said at the єɴԀ of the campaign: “I think the thing I struggle the most with is when you feel like you have let people down, disappointed someone.
“When you have created certain expectations and then you are not good enough to deliver.
“But then we have to put some perspective on where we are, the team that we are competing with and we still where we are with two games to go.
“There a lot of things still there, at the єɴԀ of the season we can probably assess what we could have done better.”
Arsenal start the new season at home against Nottingham Forest, with Kai Havertz also looking to make his debut.
Ajax defєɴԀer Jurrien Timber is also poised to join the club, with William Saliba and Reiss Nelson penning new Ԁєɑłs in another boost.
