While Leeds United stood pat during the January transfer window, several of their Championship promotion rivals made strategic acquisitions. This article compares the squad values of all Championship teams, highlighting the financial disparity between top and bottom clubs.
Leeds United experienced a relatively quiet January transfer window, welcoming no new players to the club. This means the Whites will rely on their existing squad for the remainder of the season. Despite the disappointment of their FA Cup exit against Millwall over the weekend, Daniel Farke's team will now fully focus on securing their position at the top of the Championship table and ultimately achieving promotion back to the Premier League.
While Leeds remained inactive in the transfer market, several of their promotion rivals bolstered their squads. Burnley made notable additions with Marcus Edwards, Ashley Barnes, Jonjo Shelvey, Jaydon Banel, and Oliver Sonne joining their ranks. Sunderland also strengthened their team, signing Jayden Danns, Enzo Le Fee, and Wilson Isidor. These transfer acquisitions would have significantly increased the combined value of those two teams' squads. A comparison of squad values across all Championship teams, based on figures from Transfermarkt, reveals Burnley as the frontrunners with a combined squad value of £148.8 million. This figure is slightly more than £4 million higher than Leeds' squad value of £144.4 million. Sunderland holds the third-highest valued squad, but it falls over £40 million short of Leeds'. The wide range of squad values highlights the substantial financial disparities between the top and bottom clubs in the league. Burnley's squad value stands a staggering £132.6 million higher than newly promoted Oxford United, whose total squad value is £16.2 million. Here's a detailed look at the market value of every squad in the Championship: **Championship Squad Market Value** Burnley - £148.8m (€178.8m) Leeds United - £144.4m (€173.5m) Sunderland - £104m (€124.9m) Sheffield United - £103.7m (€124.6m) Middlesbrough - £87m (€104.5m) Luton Town - £80.6m (€96.8m) Norwich City - £77.4m (€93m) Coventry City - £70.8m (€85.1m) West Bromwich Albion - £62.8m (€75.4m) Hull City - £56.7m (€68.1m) Blackburn Rovers - £46.1m (€55.4m) Stoke City - £44.2m (€53.1m) Queens Park Rangers - £42.4m (€50.9m) Watford - £39.7 (€47.7m) Cardiff City - £38.5m (€46.2m) Swansea City - £36.7m (€44.1m) Bristol City - £36.3m (€43.6m) Preston North End - £35.5m (€42.6m) Millwall - £33.3m (€40m) Sheffield Wednesday - £30.8m (€37m) Plymouth Argyle - £25.1m (€30.2m) Derby County - £21.2m (€25.5m) Portsmouth - £20.5m (€24.6m) Oxford United - £16.2m (€19.4m
