Arsenal Women Football Club has increased pay by almost 30%, according to the latest published accounts.

However the entire team still earns considerably less than some individual male players.

The total wage bill for the 2021-22 season was £4.3m, giving an average figure of £98,000 across playing and non-playing staff.

Arsenal FC said it is keen to grow the women's game in a sustainable way.

These accounts cover the season before the England beat Germany to win the Euros, filling Wembley stadium and lifting the women's game to new heights of popularity.
