Here are details of England’s 10 highest-paid players…
10
Mark Gay (Manchester City)
£250,000 per week
The player ranked No. 10 is a well-deserved transfer. Manchester City in the January transfer window. Mark Gueye, who guided Crystal Palace to FA Cup glory and subsequently a Europa League spot, has a number of options when he looks to leave Selhurst Park.
In the end, he chose to move to Etihad Airways and received the huge contract that came with it. According to reports, the England centre-back now earns £250,000 per week and £13 million per year.
9
Reece James (Chelsea)
£250,000 per week
There was a time when it was hard to say what the future held for Reece James. He spent most of his time in the therapy room. Any England call-up seems unlikely due to his availability rather than his ability. However, those days appear to be over and he has earned an impressive salary.
The Chelsea captain is reportedly earning £250,000-a-week in west London, equivalent to £13 million a year, just like international teammate Gueye.
8
Jadon Sancho (Manchester United)
£250,000 per week
Jadon Sancho is still Manchester United One player, one only has to look at his salary to see why. The winger earns up to £250,000 a week (£13m a year) and has proven to be one of the biggest transfer flops in Premier League history.

Sancho’s future looks set to be away from Old Trafford for some time, but it remains to be seen whether he eventually finds the opportunity to leave permanently rather than loan out again.
7
John Stones (Manchester City)
£250,000 per week
With his contract expiring this summer, John Stones may not be on this list for much longer. However, as things stand, the Manchester City defender, who earns £250,000 a week and £13 million a year, remains one of the highest-paid English players in football.
The former Everton man certainly deserves his place. Now a serial winner, he will go down as one of the most decorated English defenders in history when he leaves the Etihad Stadium.
6
Mason Mount (Manchester United)
£250,000 per week
It’s not just Sancho who is making big money at Old Trafford, Mason Mount is also one of the highest-paid players in England. And, like Sancho, despite earning £250,000-a-week, he has not made the impact he would have liked at United.
The initial injury was far from helping the former Chelsea man, who still has time to turn his fortunes around and avoid becoming another transfer failure for the club.
5
Trent Alexander-Arnold (Real Madrid)
£277,895 per week
When Trent Alexander-Arnold left Liverpool as a free agent after winning a second Premier League title, he broke Anfield hearts but left an undeniable Premier League legacy.

Now at Real Madrid, the right-back reportedly earns a staggering £277,895 a week, more than £14 million a year, making him one of the highest-paid English players in football.
4
Jack Grealish (Manchester City)
£300,000 per week
Jack Grealish’s loan spell at Everton has provided the Premier League with a timely reminder of his ability and why Manchester City signed him to a £300,000-a-week contract all those years ago.
The winger remains one of the highest-paid English players, although he has not played a key role at the Etihad for some time. It speaks volumes about his talent at Aston Villa that City have made him the fourth-highest-paid player in England.
3
Jude Bellingham (Real Madrid)
£347,243 per week
Jude Bellingham is always high on this list, he is one of the best midfielders in football. He is a man for the big occasions and his £347,243-a-week salary reflects that at Real Madrid.

The ex-Birmingham man’s career has been going quite well so far and he will become a great player for England if the Three Lions achieve their goals. He’ll make a ton of money while doing it.
2
Harry Kane (Bayern Munich)
£416,758 per week
Kane is considered by many to be the best England striker of all time, that’s indisputable. The Bayern Munich forward carried Tottenham Hotspur on his back during his prime, finally ending his wait for trophies at Bayern Munich.
In Germany, he became England’s second-highest earner with earnings of £416,758 per week, which equates to a staggering £22.6 million per year.
1
Ivan Tony (Al-Ahli)
£425,260 per week
Before Ivan Toney could blink, he was making money in the Saudi Professional League. The former Brentford forward is on his way to riches in 2024 and hasn’t looked back, earning a reported £425,260 a week and almost £22m a year.
So despite Kane’s legacy and Bellingham being regarded as one of the best midfielders in Europe, the highest-paid English footballer at the moment is Al Ahly.
