Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Goalkeeper Rushworth Is Top Earner

In a highly unusual wage structure, goalkeeper Carl Rushworth is the club's highest-paid player with an annual salary of €3.7M. He earns more than any attacker, midfielder, or defender on the team.

Two Players Earn More Than 13 Teammates Combined

The combined annual salary of the club's top two earners, goalkeeper Carl Rushworth (€3.7M) and right-winger Loum Tchaouna (€3.2M), totals €6.9M. This figure is greater than the combined wages of the 13 lowest-paid players in the squad.

Top Defender Out-earns Top Midfielder

The club's highest-paid defender, centre-back Aurèle Amenda (€2.7M), earns significantly more per year than the top-earning midfielders, Gustavo Hamer and Frank Onyeka (both €2.0M).

Two Right-Backs Out-earn Three Left-Backs

The club's two right-backs, Kaine Kesler-Hayden (€1.2M) and Milan van Ewijk (€780K), have a combined salary of nearly €2.0M. This total is greater than the combined wages of all three of the squad's left-backs: Jake Bidwell, Jay Dasilva, and Miguel Brau.

Three Players Share Identical €1.6M Salary

A unique salary cluster exists near the top of the wage bill, with centre-back Luke Woolfenden and centre-forwards Haji Wright and Ellis Simms all earning an identical salary of €1.6M per year.

Massive Pay Gap in Attack

There is a significant wage disparity in the forward line. The lowest-paid attacker, Raphael Rodrigues at €94K, earns less than 13% of the salary of the next lowest-paid forward, Ephron Mason-Clark (€750K).
