Ivan Toney shakes up Top 10 Highest paid English players

From playing in the lower tier division of English football a few years ago, England’s Ivan Toney has made the remarkable turn around in his football career to emerge as one of the top English earners in football.

The surprising move of Ivan Toney to Al Ahli on deadline day has made him one of the world’s richest English footballers overnight, as his staggering £400,000 per week salary propels him into second place on the list of highest-paid English players.

Despite months of speculation linking him to Premier League giants like Chelsea and Manchester United, the striker opted for Saudi riches, leaving many fans questioning how much the Premier League can compete with the Saudi Pro League’s financial firepower.

While Toney’s mega payday turns heads, he’s still chasing England captain Harry Kane, who continues to hold the top spot with a reported weekly salary of £406,000 at Bayern Munich. Kane’s move to Germany may have been driven by silverware dreams, but it’s his bank account that’s winning so far.

Behind Ivan Toney is rising star Jude Bellingham, pocketing £341,175 a week at Real Madrid, while Raheem Sterling, frozen out at Chelsea and now on loan at Arsenal, still commands a hefty £325,000 weekly wage. And it doesn’t stop there—Premier League stars Marcus Rashford, Jack Grealish, and Mason Mount all make the cut, securing their spots among the wealthiest English footballers.

As Toney cashes in on Saudi Arabia’s football revolution, is this a sign of things to come for more English stars? Will the Premier League giants lose their grip as the world’s footballers chase the Saudi millions?
