Every Premier League club’s highest-paid player (Players or loan have not been included)
Arsenal: Bukayo Saka – £300,000-per-week (when he signs new deal)
Saka’s new deal is well deserved. He has scored 12 times and recorded 11 assists this season.

Digne has found himself on the bench more often than not recently due to the arrival of Alex Moreno in January.

Lerma is also Bournemouth’s record signing. They paid €30.50m for him in 2018.
Brentford: Ben Mee – £55,000-per-week
Surprisingly, Brentford’s star striker Ivan Toney ‘only’ earns £20,000-per-week.
Brighton: Adam Lallana – £90,000-per-week
Lallana, now 34, is still a very good player.
Chelsea: Raheem Sterling – £325,000-per-week
Sterling has been disappointing since signing for Chelsea last summer. He has scored seven times and recorded three assists in his first season with the club.
Crystal Palace: Wilfried Zaha – £130,000-per-week
Zaha may not be Crystal Palace’s highest-paid player for much longer with his deal set to run out in the summer.
Everton: Jordan Pickford – £125,000-per-week
Pickford earns marginally more than Alex Iwobi, Abdoulaye Doucouré and Yerry Mina.

Lingard and Gibbs-White both joined last summer, while Felipe arrived in January.
Southampton: James Ward-Prowse – £100,000-per-week
Ward-Prowse is deservedly Southampton’s highest-paid player.
Tottenham Hotspur: Harry Kane – £200,000-per-week
Kane is being paid handsomely by Spurs but could well leave this summer in pursuit of winning trophies.
West Ham United: Lucas Paqueta – £150,000-per-week
