17 Premier League teams feature
in Deloitte's run-down of football's 30 richest clubs based on 2014-15
revenue - an increase of three on last year's tally.
Each of the new arrivals, Leicester City, Crystal Palace and West Bromwich Albion, earned more money than Italian giants Napoli last season, who finished as high as 16th place 12 months ago.
And
it is anticipated that the number of English-based clubs making the
list will continue rise in future years, with the league's
record £5.14bn TV deal coming into play in September 2016.
Despite the increase in Premier League representation, however, Manchester United have slipped a place to third in the standings, with Barcelona taking their place behind Real Madrid at the top.
But it was a good year for Arsenal, who climb above English champions Chelsea
into seventh - becoming London's richest club in doing so - after
raking in more match-day revenue (£101.84m) than anyone else last
season.
Manchester United (£87.96m) and Chelsea (£71.84m) both
made the top five for match-day income, behind Real Madrid*
(£100.12m) and Barcelona** (£90.17m) who, along with Juventus (£153.3m), lead the Blues (£137.3m) and Manchester City (£137.1m) in revenue gained through broadcasting.Paris Saint-Germain (£228.8m) top the charts for commercial revenue, with Bayern Munich (£214.2m) second and Manchester United (£203.3m), Real Madrid (£190.5m) and Barcelona (£188.1m) completing the top five in that order.
