Eleven EPL stars stand out as most underpaid players
Premier League footballers are often seen as some of the best-paid athletes in the world, but a new report highlights several standout performers whose salaries lag behind their impact on the pitch. Players like Bart Verbruggen and Kevin Schade are earning significantly less than many of their peers despite strong performances. The list, based on reported wage figures, includes rising talents and established players from clubs such as Brentford, Brighton, and Tottenham. These footballers are considered some of the league’s biggest bargains given their contributions and market value.
Match highlights
- Bart Verbruggen of Brighton tops the list, reportedly earning £35,000 per week despite being a reliable goalkeeper and attracting interest from Champions League clubs.
- Djed Spence (Tottenham) and Kevin Schade (Brentford) are among those highlighted, with Schade reportedly earning just £10,000 per week, the lowest on the list.
- Brentford has three representatives: Sepp van den Berg (£20,000), Nathan Collins (£30,000), and Kevin Schade.
- Young talents like Nico O’Reilly (Manchester City, £30,000 per week) and Eli Junior Kroupi (Bournemouth, £20,000 per week) are also included after breakthrough campaigns.
- Other names on the list are Carlos Baleba (Brighton), Adam Wharton (Crystal Palace), Iliman Ndiaye (Everton), and Wilson Isidor (Sunderland), all reportedly earning less than many of their Premier League counterparts.
