The French champions bought Icardi in on a season-long-loan with a £64m option to buy and their playing staff are now worth a cool £949.5m, according to

And having signed the Argentine bad boy, PSG now boast the most expensive front three in football history.

This is just one place behind last season's Champions League winners Liverpool who are down a place to fourth at £959.18m.

The top three is made up of names you would expect to see with Manchester City, Real Madrid and Barcelona all weighing in with squad values in excess of £1BILLION!

Pep Guardiola's City side rank first at £1.14bn, Real Madrid - whose summer splurge on Eden Hazard and Luka Jovic saw their squad value soar - sit second at £1.07bn, while Catalonian giants Barcelona take up the bronze medal spot at £1.03bn.

Although Spurs find themselves down a place in sixth, they are one of just three English teams who make the top ten - with London rivals Chelsea sneaking in at tenth with a squad value of £697.5m.

The Blues are currently serving a two window ban so are relying on youth which has seen their squad value drop.

But they still sit above Premier League rivals Manchester United and Arsenal who do not make the top ten and sit 11th and 13th respectively.

While Arsenal - who smashed their club record transfer fee to bag £72m man Nicolas Pepe in the summer - sit two places down behind 12th place Borussia Dortmund with a £570.38m.

Elsewhere in the top 30, the Premier League is represented by West Ham, Everton, Leicester, Bournemouth and Wolves whose squads are all valued north of the £275m mark.
