UK house prices: Arsenal top the Premier League of renting
Arsenal can finally claim to be top of the Premier League, at least when it comes to rental prices.
Lettings agent Rentify has compiled a list of how top football clubs would rank if the table were organised on the rental price for a two-bedroom flat.

Arsenal would top the table, with rent topping £2,000 per calendar month for a two bedroom flat. Meanwhile, players of fans from Sunderland can pay far less to be within the same postcode as their club’s stadium: just £425 would get you a flat there.
Meanwhile, Liverpool (£495), Manchester City (£650), and Manchester United (£650) would get nowhere near the top four. In fact Liverpool find themselves in the relegation zone. £1,321 is enough for a top four spot, which West Ham just take from Crystal Palace (£1,150).
This could be bad news for Raheem Stirling, who would have to pay £150 more for a flat near Manchester City, if he wrangles a move there.
