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.

David Raya £100,000
Kepa Arrizabalaga £75,000
Jack Porter £850
