A list of Premier League’s lowest paid players has been compiled and there are some surprising names.
It is well documented that footballers' wages are already way higher than average. But not every player gets paid the big bucks, especially if they are a young player that has only recently joined the club.
The big money tends to go to the stars of the club, the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Kevin de Bruyne and Mohamed Salah are some of the best paid players in world football, earning well over £300,000 per week.

The contrast with between the highest and lowest paid players is huge within the Premier League.
According to Spotrac, Bournemouth star Zemura is on a weekly wage of just £385. Whereas Ronaldo takes home a reported £515,385 per week.
Zemura has been a regular for the south coast side since their promotion back to the Premier League, surely a new contract will be on the way as he proves his worth as one of Bournemouth’s best players.
