Most valuable football clubs in the world right now

Arsenal (€2.102b)

Arsenal have impressed in terms of monetary gains

In the past two seasons, Arsenal have won the FA Cup and the Community Shield. However, much like Chelsea, they too seem to have a thing for financial competitions with the best clubs in Europe.

Arsenal are sixth on the list of the most valuable clubs in football with a valuation of €2.102 billion. In contrast to the previous year, the Gunners have increased their EV by 7%.

Arsenal's absence in the Champions League in the for the second consecutive season in 2018-19 is bound to take a toll on their financial gains. However, the fans have been given new hopes after the club decided to replace Arsene Wenger with Unai Emery following the Frenchman's retirement.

Arsenal's social networking stats are as follows:

Facebook - 37.9 million

Twitter - 13.8 million

Instagram - 11 million

In total, Arsenal's Internet fan base adds up to 62.7 million. However, the absence of on-pitch success seems to have affected their ability to attract unique followers. Amongst the top 10 valuable clubs, the Gunners have notched the lowest number of unique followers (3.9 million), after increasing their followers by 7% in contrast to the last year.

Mesut Ozil is the only player who makes it into the top 20 most-followed players list, ranking seventh with a fan-following of 69.8 million. The German's combined social media figures on all three platforms are higher than that of Arsenal's entire Internet fan base.
