Most players see joining a Premier League club as an opportunity to walk into a life of luxury.

This explains why players leave big clubs in other European countries to join a mid-table or clubs struggling to survive relegation in the Premier League.

Among stars earning above the £300,000-a-week mark are Mesut Ozil of Arsenal and David de Gea after signing a contract extension with Manchester United worth £375,000-a-week.

Manchester United’s Paul Pogba is on a £290,000-a-week wage.

Also, players like Christian Benteke gets £120,000-a-week while Liverpool’s forgotten man Nathaniel Clyne pockets £70,000-a-week for not really doing much at all.

However, there are other players making impacts in the league but earn below £10,000-a-week wage.

Here are some of them: Teemu Pukki (Norwich City) – £8,000

The Finnish international has scored 11 goals in his first Premier League season, currently putting him level with Harry Kane and Raheem Sterling. In fact, he’s found the back of the net more often than Roberto Firmino and Gabriel Jesus.

However, Norwich could only afford to pay him below £10,000-a-week.

Scott McTominay (Manchester United) – £10,000

Prior to his injury, McTominay was arguably Manchester United’s best player this season. The Scotsman has really come into his own in the last 18 months or so and when he returns from the treatment table, he should be straight in Ed Woodward’s office.

Matty Longstaff (Newcastle United) – £850

The 19-year-old still goes home to live with his parents after a long day of scoring against Manchester United. A new contract is supposedly in the offing any day now.

Sean Longstaff (Newcastle United) – £692

As for Matty’s brother Sean, the Magpies have told him he still needs to do more to earn an extension of his own.

Dean Henderson (Sheffield United) – £10,000 Only Alisson Becker and Kasper Schmeichel have conceded fewer goals than Sheffield United’s on-loan goalkeeper. With the fifth most clean sheets in the division too, there’s even been talk United want him back to provide serious competition for David de Gea next season.

Kortney Hause (Aston Villa) – £8,000

Even Tom Heaton, Villa’s highest earner, is only on £42,000 a week. That means at the other end of the scale there are players like Hause, whose whole weekly wage is picked up by some of his Premier League contemporaries in a single day.

Rhian Brewster (Liverpool – on loan at Swansea) – £10,000

Liverpool fans are expecting a bright future from this young man. The Reds’ current line-up is understandably almost impossible to break into so in the meantime, he’s been sent on loan to Swansea.

I dont believe that of Mctominay

Pukki will leave wen a club comes with 70k

Lingard shouldn't be paid more than £10,000/wk

Money dey football

Millions

imagine Longstaff earning £850 and the said he's worth £50M. Man UTD una don suffer

Nfn

What about sport pundits, how much do they earn?

*This life sha... somebody would be enjoying his pay and it would be someone's else job to analyse the pay and decide if it's Ok.

Even at 10,000 pounds, it's still big money.
Doctors in the UK earn between 120,000 to 240,000 pounds per year and are still regarded as one of the highest paid.

When they say go to church alot of you won't listen

See the harsh thing you just typed

Thats why d big names can afford luxury life style

Chai! This is seriously unbelievable..

So you mean these players earn this low despite running upandan the pitch for whole 90 minutes. Thie life sha. And yet, some useless players earn way too much. Imagine someone like Lingard now ehn..

But wait ooo OP, those ones with 850 and 690 pounds I'm seeing, you mean that's what they actually earn abi na my eyes dey deceive me?

I honestly will not accept anything less than £20,000 a week.

Compare to Nigeria players

That guy is an attacking goalkeeper.

The longstaff brothers still live with their parents. Woow.. earning less than 1k pounds a week.. that's poor

wat??a whole pukki

In Nigerian Naira, they are still Millionaires. See how useless our Nigerian Naira is?

aimuan:
I dont believe that of Mctonomy .

Its the sad truth. Sadder truth is that Lingard makes over 100k Euros a week without an assist or goal so far this season.

Look at the pittance Man Utd is paying Mctominay, yet they are ready to shell out $30M for that English baby

Why? Even if not for football, atleast he should earn a decent wage for his dance abilities

Convert that Pukki's weekly 'peanuts' to naira first, and multiply it by 4. Then you'll see he's earning far more than the highest paid CEO in Nigeria. This is why even parents with kids that can't play football are trying to flog skills into them, even if it's to play for Scunthorpe Utd

Shocking, sad, preposterous, ridiculous, unbelievable, unfortunate, devastating, embarrassing and distasteful news.
