MANCHESTER City are set to bank nearly £53m from the Champions League next season - before kicking a ball. And Spurs ’ return to Europe’s elite will add a minimum £37m into the N17 coffers - with the potential of earning more than £110m. But Arsenal and Manchester United will earn under £17m each, and a maximum of up to £26m for taking part in the Thursday-Sunday grind of the Europa League . And West Ham ’s second successive European campaign will see them struggle to make more than a relative pittance with just £7.9m guaranteed for their place in the Conference League .
