Alexis Sanchez is now the highest paid player in the Premier League, and one of the highest paid in the world…<\/p>\n

OddsMonkey has compiled the list of the world’s top earning footballers, with surprising entrants in the top-ten.<\/p>\n

On top of the pile is Argentine Ezequiel Lavezzi who plays for Chinese club Hebei Fortune – yeah we had not heard of them either – and he brings home a whopping \u00a3750,000-per-week.<\/p>\n

Next comes PSG star Neymar – who is Europe’s top earner alongside former Barcelona team-mate Lionel Messi, who has just bolstered his earnings with a new deal.<\/p>\n

Then in comes Alexis on his \u00a3505,000-a-week deal.<\/p>\n

Fifth is another Chinese based player in the shape of former Chelsea star Oscar – currently with Shanghai SIPG.<\/p>\n

After that, and quite surprisingly low, come Real Madrid stars Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale<\/p>\n

Oscar’s team-mate and fellow countryman Hulk follows him at 8 om just \u00a3320,000-a-week!<\/p>\n

At 9 is\u00a0Henrikh Mkhitaryan – Arsenal’s new boy, who came as part of the Sanchez deal – and he will be more than happy with his new terms.<\/p>\n

Making up the top-ten is Manchester United’s record signing Paul Pogba, on his \u00a3290,000-a-week.<\/p>\n
