Arsenal banked a cool £732,760 for releasing players for Euro 2008.

Overall, Premiership clubs earned a whopping £4.14million pay-out. Arsene Wenger's side received the most after seven of their squad took part in qualifiers and the summer finals.

Chelsea, Liverpool and Manchester United were also major beneficiaries after UEFA agreed to pay approximately £3,420 per day for each player to end a long-running dispute between clubs and governing bodies.

The top four clubs provided 23 of the 39 English-based players involved in the competition and even Sheffield United benefited thanks to Turkey's selection of Colin Kazim-Richards.
