David De Gea on top, Man Utd and Man City lead the pack in highest-paid Premier League stars

With massive foreign investment, bumper broadcast contracts and major sponsorship deals, the Premier League is undoubtedly a big money spinner. England’s top flight is awash with cash and its biggest stars are able to earn amounts of money that the majority of the population can only dream about.

That figure puts him way in front of the next two players in the standings, both of whom currently ply their trade with local rivals City. Kevin De Bruyne’s £320,833 per week salary puts him second on the list, whil...
