How Tottenham compare to Chelsea and Arsenal in Forbes latest financial ratings

The latest financial ratings for the world’s most valuable football clubs have now been released and Tottenham Hotspur rank inside the top 10.

Securing Europa League football will boost Tottenham‘s financial power this summer having missed out on European revenue over the 2023/24 term.

However, the sale of Harry Kane will have provided Spurs with some power to spend having seen the club’s record goalscorer leave for Bayern Munich last year.

Ange Postecoglou will be hoping there is a good sum of money to spend this summer with clear areas where the Australian is key to improve.

Having seen Kane leave last summer, Postecoglou has already spoken about the need to bolster Tottenham’s attack over the coming months.

And looking at where Spurs have now ranked in the latest financial report from Forbes, there is no reason the Lilywhites shouldn’t be competing at the top table in the transfer window.

Where Tottenham rank in Forbes’ most-valuable clubs list

Although Tottenham may not spend in the same was as some of the other top clubs across Europe do, Daniel Levy has built a solid platform in north London.

The likes of Manchester City and Chelsea find themselves under regular scrutiny as a result of their excessive spending.

Although some may claim Spurs don’t spend at that calibre to cause themselves any issues, the set-up at Tottenham in generating revenue means they have a huge financial barrier to prevent them from getting entangled in the FFP mess that other clubs have.

The construction of the multi-purpose Tottenham Hotspur Stadium has been a huge asset for the club and is why they rank so highly among other European clubs.

According to Forbes, Tottenham rank eighth in the top 10 most-valuable clubs with a valuation of $3.2 billion.

And the Lilywhites have been able to edge out their two London rivals who come in behind them in ninth and tenth.

  • Real Madrid – $6.6 billion
  • Manchester United – $6.5 billion
  • Barcelona – $5.6 billion
  • Liverpool – $5.3 billion
  • Manchester City – $5.1 billion
  • Bayern – $5 billion
  • PSG – $4.4 billion
  • Tottenham – $3.2 billion
  • Chelsea – $3.1 billion
  • Arsenal – $2.6 billion

Tottenham eyeing bigger and better with new investment

Tottenham sit in a healthier financial spot than ever before having boasted over £500m in revenue in their latest financial report.

However, to further ensure progress is being made on the pitch, Levy has revealed the club are seeking external investment.

This could see Spurs utilise their ability to spend in the transfer windows having generated some serious revenue from their stadium.

The north London home has become the Premier League’s shining example of how club’s can diversify their revenue streams with various sporting events, music concerts and other activities taking place in N17.

Despite struggling last season under Antonio Conte, the latest Forbes rankings goes to show the efforts away from the pitch are providing a strong financial return.
