Premier League 2022-23 prize money : Arsenal almost as tall as League winners, Man City

By -
The Premier League 2022-23 season champion is already crowned with Pep Guardiola's City winning the title for a third time in a row while Arsenal have settled for second spot after fumbling their quest to be winners.


Newcastle United have secured Champions League qualification for the first time in 20 years while Manchester United need just a point from their remaining two games to complete the top four.

For Liverpool, they'll need to win their final game away to already relegated Southampton and hope United lose their two remaining games to reach the Champions League next season.

However, that seems a bit too much to dream so its safe to the The Reds have only but secured Europa League place and will be joined by Brighton, who sealed a first ever European qualification following their win over Southampton last weekend.

Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur will battle for a lone ticket to the Europa Conference League. Albeit it is the Unai Emery's side that has the upper hand with a point more than Spurs, they face a more difficult task on final matchday as they host Brighton while their rival travel to Elland Road to face Leeds United.

Chelsea have succumbed to a place in the bottom half while they'll also finish below fellow Londoners, Fulham for the first time in 40 years.

Southampton are relegated while two other spots in the drop zone is still to be decided with two of Leeds United, Leicester City and Everton to be heading for the Championship after conclusion of games on Sunday.

The prize money is what we'll look at in this article and since this is yet to be revealed, here is how it was awarded to last season's top four teams.

Champion — Manchester City (£161.3m)

Premier League title winner Man City will make away with £161.3 million in prize money as it is the same amount they received for winning the competition last season.


First runner-up — Arsenal (£159.8m)

Liverpool it was last season that finished in this position and they are awarded £159.8 million in prize money. Having secured that spot for themselves this term, the Gunners will make away with an amount in this region.

Third and fourth earned £152.1 million and £151.7 million respectively. The position is yet to be decided but Newcastle are assured a top four finish, while United could still beat them to third or completely fall out of the Champions League spot.

Liverpool can not finish below fifth and despite their slim chance of making top four, they are more suited for fifth and the reward will be £151.6m, which was received by Arsenal last season.

Brighton are set to receive their higest pay in a league season after finishing their highest in top-flight history. A sum of £150.2m awaits after the conclusion of the campaign.

The amount of £142.1m and £134m is to be bagged by and or Aston Villa and Tottenham Hotspur respectively, with the larger amount going to the club that finish above the other come Sunday evening.

Brentford's ninth place finish will see them in line for £131.5m payment while fellow Londoners, Fulham, who are just a place below on the log will get £130.6m on their first season back in the top-flight. Not bad.

Another London team, Crystal Palace will hope to finish above Chelsea and cash in on a £128.2m cash prize though they have played a game more but Chelsea also have to worry about Wolves, who can still claim the £124.3m cash prize for twelfth.

Another Newcastle defeat means time to go BIG on Eddie Howe might be about right

Eddie Howe's Newcastle United falled to a sixth defeat in seven games as Nottingham Forest sealed a 3-1 comeback win in the Saint James' Park, adding to their Champions League and Carabao Cup elimination in December while they continue to drop down the Premier League table. Credits to the Englishman, however, he is not in an elite level. A project like Newcastle United's is in a stage where you say thank you very much to Eddie Howe, a bid him farewell. It was a miracle, what the former AFC Bournemouth boss has done in his just more than two years at the helm of affairs in Tyneside and after the club failed to make the statement upon their UEFA Champions League qualification, the time couldn't be more right. Eddie Howe took charge of Newcastle United when the club was deep down the bottom of the Premier League standing and helped them become the first-ever to avoid relegation having not won a single game up until Gameweek 14 in the competition's history.

Rasmus Hojlund; a pragmatic solution to Manchester United's needs despite likely consequences

Rasmus Hojlund has emerged as a real target for Manchester United as they look to secure a main goalscorer, who will lead the lines for the club on a long-term. Erik Ten Hag has opted for a different approach compared to previous managers of United in recent times, whom had all gone for players of different status. Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Odion Ighalo, Edinson Cavani, Cristiano Ronaldo and Wout Weghorst are strikers the club has signed post Sir Alex Ferguson era, all of whom arrived at the club in their 30s. With Hojlund, United are looking to sign someone who just turned 20, though still has a lot more to learn to master the trade but at the same time, he has got the potentials to become one of the best around. The striker position has been a major issue for the club as many of those who had been signed has not lived up to expectations, while those who did ended up leaving due to their already ending careers. Cristiano Ronaldo and maybe Zlatan Ibrahimovic are the only two names who have m

Victor Osimhen crowned Africa's Best For the first time since Kanu Nwankwo 24 years ago, a Nigerian player has won the most prestigious individual accolade in African football with striker Victor Osimhen beating Mohamed Salah and Achraf Hakimi to the CAF Men's Player of the Year award. Osimhen, who enjoyed a sensational year with Napoli, delivering their first Scudetto in 33years and helping them to a first-ever quarter final place in the UEFA Champions League was always front-runner for the award, moreso after Riyad Mahrez failed to make the final three. Aside his conquests with Napoli, the 24-year-old striker was also unplayable in the AFCON qualifiers, scoring ten goals in six games and finishing as top scorer of the qualificatio
