Spurs could earn more than Arsenal for being in next season's Champions League
Arsenal and Tottenham will both compete in the Champions League next season, but Spurs could pocket slightly more cash than their rivals despite finishing well below them in the Premier League
Tottenham may have finished well below Arsenal in the Premier League this season, but they could stand to rake in more than their bitter rivals in the Champions League next year. Spurs endured a season to forget under Ange Postecoglou in the Premier League, finishing in 17th place.
But they made amends for their shocking domestic record by clinching the club's first major trophy in 17 years in last week's Europa League final. Their triumph in Bilbao also guarantees Tottenham a spot in the Champions League next season and all the financial benefits that brings.
It also means the Londoners will face the winners of this weekend's Champions League final in the Uefa Super Cup later in the summer - and that would potentially allow Tottenham to bank more than cash than their domestic rivals.
As outlined by The Sun, all six English teams who have qualified for the Champions League will earn a 'starting bonus' of £15.72million as per the terms of the cash model Uefa employed last season.
The total sum earned by each club is divided up based on European performances over the last five to 10 years and size of the respective nation's TV contract.
England's contract, which includes a £305m agreement with TNT Sports, is second only to France's coverage which is worth an estimated £411m-a-year.
City are ranked highest of the English clubs in the five-year coefficient table and therefore stand to earn the biggest share of the 'European' portion of the finances on offer, plus the third largest slice of the 'non European' pot. In total, they stand to pocket ££53.13m.
Arsenal are fourth in the earnings list with a sum of £47.86m. But although Tottenham are below them, they could end up earning more; this is partly because they will earn a further guaranteed £3.38m for reaching the Uefa Super Cup.
But if Benfica fail to advance past the tournament's qualifying rounds, then Tottenham would stand to land £48m in total: an amount slightly in excess of what Arsenal will earn.
The Gunners finished second for a third successive year to clinch their golden ticket to the Champions League, where they reached the semi-finals before losing to PSG.

Friday briefing: Lamine Yamal stars for Spain and ‘no crisis' for Sarina Wiegman
England boss Sarina Wiegman named her squad for Euro 2025 – insisting there was no 'crisis' in the Lionesses' camp. Russell Martin was announced as the new Rangers manager and Wales geared up for their next World Cup qualifier in Cardiff on Friday night, when Scotland and the Republic of Ireland will both play friendlies. Lamine Yamal stars as Spain edge Les Blues An all-time classic in the Nations League semi-finals 🤯#NationsLeague — UEFA EURO (@UEFAEURO) June 5, 2025 Barcelona teenager Lamine Yamal scored twice as holders Spain beat France 5-4 in an entertaining heavyweight clash in Stuttgart to book their place in the Nations League final against Portugal. Goals from Nico Williams and Mikel Merino in the space of three minutes midway through the first half had put the European champions in control. Yamal, 17, slotted in a penalty soon after the restart, with Pedri then swiftly clipping home a fourth before Kylian Mbappe pulled a goal back for France from the spot in the 59th minute. After Lamal showed more fine close control to slide in a second goal, Lyon winger Rayan Cherki marked his debut off the bench when he crashed in a volley with 10 minutes left. A late own goal from Dani Vivian saw France claw back another before Randal Kolo Muani headed in during stoppage time. Spain, though, held out to make a third straight Nations League final, which will be played in Munich on Sunday. Sarina Wiegman shuts out the noise England boss Sarina Wiegman insisted there was no 'crisis' as she named a 23-strong squad for Euro 2025 following a tumultuous month for the Lionesses. It has been a far from settled few weeks as England prepared to defend their European crown, opening the campaign against France in Zurich on July 5. Both goalkeeper Mary Earps and attacker Fran Kirby had announced their retirement from international football, while defender Millie Bright pulled out of the tournament to prioritize her mental health, with Chelsea later confirming she had undergone minor knee surgery. Sarina Wiegman feels 'happy and excited' as focus sharpens ahead of Euro 2025 (Martin Rickett/PA) Wiegman, though, dismissed the idea the Lionesses camp is unsettled. Chelsea striker Lauren James, recovering from a hamstring injury, has been included in the squad, alongside 19-year-old Michelle Agyemang. 'We're going with this 23 to the Euros and I'm comfortable, happy and excited. For me it doesn't feel like a crisis at all,' Wiegman said. 'There is always noise, so we expect noise before we go into a tournament. The difference is in my first tournament, the attention and visibility with the women's team has increased. 'We have to deal with it and move on and focus on football.' Craig Bellamy wants Wales in focus Wales head coach Craig Bellamy wants his team in the right mindset against the rank outsiders (Adam Davy/PA) Wales boss Craig Bellamy says one of the world's worst football teams Liechtenstein have given him sleepless nights ahead of their World Cup qualifier. Liechtenstein – ranked 205th out of FIFA's 210 nations – have not won a competitive game since September 2020, and lost their opening two World Cup qualifiers in March. Bellamy, though, warned against any sense of complacency from his side in Cardiff on Friday night. 'We've prepared for Liechtenstein as we did for Turkey and everyone else – it doesn't matter who we play against,' the Wales boss said. 'I was up late last night. I didn't sleep well. Does that tell you something? I treat every team the same.' Russell Martin ready for Ibrox challenge Russell Martin is ready to meet the challenges head on at Ibrox (Steve Welsh/PA) New Rangers head coach Russell Martin has told sceptics he is looking to prove them wrong. News of the former MK Dons, Swansea and Southampton manager's three-year deal at Ibrox has not gone down well with some supporters. However, former Scotland defender Martin, who had an unsuccessful loan period at Rangers in 2018, is ready to meet the challenges head on. 'My whole career has been based on proving people wrong, really. At every level I got questioned,' former Norwich captain Martin, 39, said. 'I got to the Premier League as a player, I wasn't convinced I could do it, but I managed to establish myself there for a little while, played international football, which I'm incredibly proud of. 'So it's the same again as a manager – I had to prove people wrong at every opportunity.' What's on today? England manager Thomas Tuchel will speak to the media ahead of Saturday's World Cup qualifier against Andorra (Bradley Collyer/PA) England boss Thomas Tuchel will hold a press conference on Friday afternoon ahead of the World Cup qualifier against Andorra in Barcelona. Wales later take on Liechtenstein in their Group J fixture in Cardiff, while Scotland play a friendly against Iceland as do the Republic of Ireland when they host Senegal. Ahead of all that on Friday morning, England under-21s coach Lee Carsley will name his squad for the upcoming European Championships in Slovakia.

Russell Martin teases Rangers transfer 'surprises' as boss puts number on signings he expects for Champions League opener
Martin wants his players to surprise him before he embarks on any wide-scale transfer overhaul 'Surprise me.' That was the challenge from Russell Martin as he urged his Rangers players to show him he doesn't need a dramatic transfer overhaul this summer. The new boss is realistic enough to know this summer is going to be difficult at Ibrox. The new American Rangers owners have tasked him with rebuilding the club and taking the fight to Celtic but that process is going to be a long one after three permanent managers came and went without laying a glove on their rivals' Premiership dominance. Martin knows he needs a big summer and expects at least 'one or two' to be in the door by the time they kick off their Champions League qualifying campaign on July 22 or July 23 – just over six weeks from now. But first, he wants the players who arguably haven't been so prominent in recent months – perhaps the likes of Nedim Bajrami and Danilo, who fell out of favour towards the end of last season – to show him what they can do. He told Sky Sports: "There are a few positions where we'll need to strengthen fairly quickly and fairly early on. But also, I'm willing to be surprised and open to being surprised by some of the players we have here. "The way we're going to work and play is going to give them the best chance to show us what we've got and give us the best version of themselves. Hopefully, one or two surprises. "We'll need some help before that game for sure. But until we get in here and assess everyone, how many we'll need before that game and how realistic that is is unclear – because football and the business of the transfer window can be difficult. "But I'm pretty sure by then, we'll have one or two people to help us and add to the group."
