A 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 a week.

AbuMikey:
Just call the NPFL, ''Suffa Head Futbal League''

Just kidding, but the Pay is so Poor, I'm very sure the Camerounians, Ghanians, South Africans, Sudanese, Egyptian, Kenya, Tanzanian, Uganda, infact every other Player in the rest of Africa's football league, earn more than their Nigerian counterparts.

F117AA:
Only two leagues in africa were considered in the world survey, Nigeria and southafrica's, i.e the rest of africa were nothing to write home about.
And the pay is not that bad if you look at it relatively.

Leon2036:
fact that other leagues where my mentioned does not mean it's nothing to write home about... have u seen Moroccan league, Egyptian league Tunisian league or even Sudan league.. they pay like European teams my frnd

F117AA:
Those countries have 2 or 3 decent teams gulping all the money, while the rest of their teams are dirt poor.
Even TP mazembe of congo pays very well , probably the highest in the continent, it dosen't mean the congolese league is not trash .
