May 28th According to the Sun, Tottenham Hotspur's revenue may exceed Arsenal's next season.

It is reported that after winning the UEFA Cup, Tottenham may have more revenue in the European game than Arsenal. Manchester City will be the highest-paid team in the Premier League in the Champions League, with an astonishing £53 million before the start of the game. Newcastle fans may be disappointed with the club's "100 million pound jackpot" because their fifth place score can actually bring about £25 million in revenue.

Although Manchester City ranked third in the Premier League, they will be the highest-paid team among the six Premier League teams participating in top European tournaments. But there is a gratifying news for Tottenham fans that winning the UEFA Cup and having a chance to compete for the UEFA Super Cup in August means they may end up making a little more money than North London arch rival Arsenal.

According to the bonus distribution model introduced by UEFA last year, all six Premier League teams will receive a £15.72 million "start bonus". But based on performance in Europe over the past five and ten years and the value of television contracts across countries, the upfront income gap between Manchester City and Newcastle is close to £30 million. Manchester City ranked second in the five-year coefficient table and despite being eliminated early this season, they still earned the largest "European" part of the prize, worth £28.23 million.

In addition, they also received the third largest share of the "non-European" portion of the prize, worth £9.18 million based on the coefficients over the past decade, totaling £53.13 million. Premier League champion Liverpool is the second largest earner among England teams and will receive £51.64 million before the game starts. Chelsea followed closely behind with £48.82 million, while Arsenal ranked fourth with £47.86 million.

Tottenham won the qualification for his outstanding performance in Bilbao. Although ranked 17th in the Premier League, they will receive £44.62 million if Benfica fails to pass the two rounds of qualifying; if Benfica enters the group stage, Tottenham will receive £269,000 less. Adding to the guaranteed bonus of £3.38 million to enter the Super Cup, Tottenham's total revenue could reach £48 million, slightly higher than Arsenal.
