Chelsea players' wages for this season have been revealed and the Blues' players are on surprisingly less than many of their 'big six' counterparts.
The club have been known to spend big since Roman Abramovich bought them in 2003 but in recent years the Russian hasn't spent as much on transfers or wages and that's shown by the current crop of players.
This season's wages have been revealed by Spotrac and goalkeeper Kepa Arrizabalaga leads the way on £150k-a-week, no surprise considering he's also the manager, joint with N'Golo Kante:
Kepa Arrizabalaga - £150,000-a-week
N'Golo Kante - £150,000
Christian Pulisic - £140,000
Willian - £120,000
Tiemoue Bakayoko - £110,000
Jorginho - £110,000
Olivier Giroud - £110,000
Mateo Kovacic - £106,673
Marcos Alonso - £100,000
Ross Barkley - £100,000
Pedro - £100,000
Antonio Rudiger - £100,000
Cesar Azpilicueta - £90,000
Michy Batshuayi - £90,000
Andreas Christensen - £80,000
Mason Mount - £75,000
Tammy Abraham - £50,000
Emerson Palmieri - £42,000
Kurt Zouma - £40,000
Ruben Loftus-Cheek - £35,000
Willy Caballero - £30,000
Marco van Ginkel - £27,885
Chelsea's top earners are actually on considerably less than the top earners at the rest of the 'big six' clubs.
Manchester United's David de Gea is reportedly the top earner in the league on £375,000-a-week with Mesut Ozil and Kevin de Bruyne not too far behind on £350k.
Liverpool and Spurs top earners might be some way off those figures but with Mo Salah, Harry Kane and Tanguy Ndombele all getting £200k every seven days they're still some way clear of Chelsea's players.
The lesser wages clearly haven't proved a stumbling block for Frank Lampard's team so far this season with the former Blues' midfielder guiding his side into the top four in his first season as manager at Stamford Bridge.
