Manchester United and Arsenal have edged big-spending rivals Chelsea and Manchester City to the best ‘cost-per-trophy’ ratio in the Premier League.
The Red Devils have hauled an epic 18 titles back through the doors of Old Trafford since the summer of 2003, and having spent £588m in that time up until now, that averages at just £32.7m per trophy.
Previously thrifty Arsenal are the next in line, with their six gongs costing £57.8m each, while London rivals Chelsea follow closely behind having bagged their 13 trophies at a average price of £67.2m.

Liverpool are next up, spending £100.7m on each of their six honours, and moneybags Man City have shelled out a whopping £144.8m to land their each of their five pieces of coveted silverware.
However, lagging miles behind are poor Tottenham, whose solitary league cup success has cost Daniel Levy an eye-watering £472m.
Of course, the stats don’t reflect wages, fees recouped or value of the trophies claimed, but it’s still interesting reading nevertheless.
If one thing’s for sure, it’s that this game ain’t cheap!
