Premier League clubs are worth an estimated $940 million. Now he&#8217;s building a new $694 million stadium for his home games.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align:center\" class=\"jsx-2925020681\">\n<p style=\"margin:0;font-size:14px;line-height:16px;font-weight:500\" class=\"jsx-2925020681\">advertisement<\/p>\n<p style=\"margin:0 0 8px 0;font-size:12px;line-height:15px\" class=\"jsx-2925020681\">Article continues under this ad<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:16px;line-height:24px;font-weight:400;margin-left:16px;margin-right:16px\">However, the naming rights deal for the new stadium is pending.

However, in the Premier League he club is still one of the most valuable football clubs in the world.
