1. Radamel Falcao – Manchester United
Earning: £350k per week
Falcao is earning absolutely obscene money, but the jury is still out over whether he is worth that kind of outlay. It’s also worth noting that Wayne Rooney reportedly has a highest earner clause installed in his contract.
2. Yaya Toure – Manchester City
Earning: £200k per week
Make that £200,000 a week and a birthday cake once a year.
3. Eden Hazard – Chelsea
Earning: £185k per week
The Belgian is coming into his own at Stamford Bridge and his salary is starting to reflect that.
4. Emmanuel Adebayor – Tottenham Hotspur
Earning: £170k per week
How on earth Adebayor is communing this kind of wage is anyone’s guess, and he is still going nowhere near being worth that much
5. Steven Gerrard – Liverpool
Earning: £140k per week
The most loyal man in the Premier League is understandably very well paid, and he is still worth every penny, too
6. Alexis Sanchez – Arsenal
Earning: £140k per week
Another huge jump between seventh and sixth sees the Gunners new boy picking up a very generous weekly wage in north London. Whether he’ll prove to be worth more than the club’s current stars, though, remains to be seen
7. Andy Carroll – West Ham United
Earning: £90k per week
Carroll earns nine times more than poor Danny Ings in 20th, but is he worth it?
8. Fabricio Coloccini – Newcastle United
Earning: £80k per week
Their best player is earning that much and they’re still a shambles defensively
9. Leighton Baines – Everton
Earning: £80k per week
Not only the highest paid player at the club, but also the highest paid full-back in the entire Premier League, too.
10. Joey Barton – Queens Park Rangers
Earning: £70k per week
Barton gave up Champions League football with Marseille to boss QPR’s midfield. That and Harry Redknapp over pays for everybody!
