There’s no doubt that England’s top flight is the greatest league in the world right now.

There is more money in the Premier League than ever before with the likes of La Liga and Serie A unable to compete.

The best players in world football are heading to these shores and clubs are getting stronger and stronger.

While the transfer window is still open until the end of August, most clubs have done all their business early ahead of the new season.

So, it presents an opportunity to take a look at just how valuable each Premier League side.

Using data from Transfermarkt, we’ve looked at the market value of each squad – the amount of money their players are currently worth. We’ve compared that to their purchase value – how much those same players were bought for. And we’ve looked at the difference between the two – the bigger the difference, the better.

Check out the table below before the explain the findings:

It’s no real surprise to see that Manchester City and Liverpool squads are worth the most in the Premier League. However, City’s squad is worth around £130 million more than their rivals. They also bought their squad for about £270 million more! That’s the difference between winning the Premier League and finishing second, I guess…

Chelsea certainly aren’t far behind Liverpool in terms of squad value – less than £30 million behind.

Spurs have the biggest difference between their purchase value and market value
