Salary Insights

Key takeaways from the wage structure.

Top Defensive Duo Out-Earns Star Striker

The combined salary of the two highest-paid defenders, center-backs Cameron Burgess (€1.5M) and Stephen Welsh (€1.2M), totals €2.7M per year. This is more than the club's overall top earner, striker Adam Idah (€2.5M).

One Winger Earns More Than Five Teammates

Winger Jeremy Monga's annual salary of €936K is greater than the combined salaries of the five lowest-paid players in the squad: Filip Lissah, Ben Lloyd, Joseph Okopu, Paul Farman, and Ronald, whose wages total just €841K.

Teenager Out-earns Four Defenders

At just 17 years old, winger Jeremy Monga earns €936K per year. This salary is higher than four of the six listed defenders. It is also more than any midfielder at the club except for the group's top earner, Stephen Eustaquio.

Entire Midfield Earns Less Than Defense

The total annual wage bill for the club's six midfielders is €3.9M. This is €1M less than the €4.9M total salary for the six defenders, despite both groups having the same number of players.

Defense Has Club's Biggest Pay Gap
