new survey in the Daily Mail has revealed that
the average salary of players from the English
Premier League has broken the two million pound
barrier for the first time.
Up £1.6 million pounds from the previous season
-- Premier League players have earned an average
of £2.3 million pounds a year, which equates to
over £43,000-a-week during 2013-14.
The rise is largely down to the increased TV deal
which saw the Premier League rake in over one
billion pounds since it took effect last year.
England's top stars are comfortably ahead of the
rest of the world in wages, as the report reads:
"Players in Germany's top division earn £1.46m a
year on average, or £28,011 a week, with players
in Italy's Serie A next best remunerated on £1.3m
a year (£25,263 a week), followed by those in
Spain's La Liga on £1.2m a year (£23,327 a
week).
"France's Ligue 1 follows La Liga, with players
averaging £988,000 a year, then the Russian
Premier League is next on £902,000 before a drop
to the only other league where players earn more
than £500,000 a year -- Brazil's top division,
where average yearly pay is £583,000."
Last in the table is the Nigerian Premier League,
where players can expect to earn just £130 pounds
a week.
