Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Skipp Earns More Than Midfield Combined

Defensive midfielder Oliver Skipp's €3.1M salary is greater than the combined salaries of all four other midfielders on the team, who collectively earn approximately €1.8M.

Huge Pay Gap in Attack

There is a vast disparity in the forward line's pay. Top earner Karlan Grant (€1.1M) earns over eleven times more than the club's youngest attacker, Robert Junior Nkeng (€95K).

Top Three Forwards Out-Earn The Rest

The forward line's wage budget is heavily concentrated at the top. The combined salary of the three highest-paid forwards (Karlan Grant, Charlie Kelman, and Matt Godden) is approximately €2.7M, which is more than the combined €1.5M earned by the other five forwards on the team.

Two Players Account For 30% of Wages

The combined salaries of the top two earners, Oliver Skipp (€3.1M) and Karlan Grant (€1.1M), total €4.2M. This represents 30% of the club's entire €14.0M annual wage bill.

Entire Goalkeeping Unit Costs Less Than One Defender

The combined salary of both goalkeepers, William Mannion and Tiernan Brooks, is €465K. This is less than the individual salary of the club's fourth-highest-paid defender, Danny McNamara, who earns €475K.

A Tale of Two Tiers in Defensive Midfield

There is a massive pay disparity within the defensive midfield position. Oliver Skipp earns €3.1M, while the other two DMs, Conor Coventry and Nathaniel Chalobah, earn just €526K and €500K respectively. Skipp's salary is nearly six times that of the next highest-paid player in his exact position.

The Club's Clear Pay Tiers

The squad's salaries are structured in distinct tiers. An 'Elite' tier is occupied solely by Oliver Skipp (€3.1M). A 'Marquee' tier features Karlan Grant (€1.1M) as the only other player earning over €1M. A 'Senior' tier includes players earning between €500K and €850K, such as Reece Burke, Charlie Kelman, and Matt Godden. The majority of the squad falls into a 'Core' tier, earning below €500K.

Grant Leads The Attacking Line

The highest-paid attacker is Centre-Forward Karlan Grant, who earns €1.1M per year. He is the only player besides Oliver Skipp to earn over €1M.

Burke Commands The Defensive Salaries

Skipp Is The Club's Top Earner

The highest-paid player at the club is Oliver Skipp, a Defensive Midfielder, with an annual salary of €3.1M. His salary accounts for roughly 22% of the club's total €14.0M wage bill.
