Arsenal and Mikel Arteta have been powered by bold transfer moves and hefty salaries. Here’s a look at how their squad stacks up in pay.
Arsenal goalkeepers hold steady salaries
David Raya’s permanent move turned him into one of the club’s most valued keepers. Now, he is on a strong weekly deal after his Golden Glove season. Kepa is fresh from his time at Real Madrid and Bournemouth. Now, he fills the backup role on a lower deal than Raya’s.
Youngster Jack Porter remains on academy-level wages. He is still far from the riches of senior football. The shift from Aaron Ramsdale to Kepa trimmed the wage bill.

| Jack Porter | £850 |

William Saliba and Gabriel are the spine of Arsenal’s backline. Ben White, despite battling injuries, earns a good salary.
Summer arrival Riccardo Calafiori joined on a strong deal. Meanwhile, Cristhian Mosquera and Piero Hincapie came in on good terms that shows the club’s eye for young talent.
Myles Lewis-Skelly is already on a big wage for his age. This is a proof that the club values future stars as much as proven defenders.
