#3 Kai Havertz (Chelsea) - £150,000
Chelsea have dominated the list so far and Kai Havertz is their third player to feature on the list of Premier League youngsters with the highest wages.
Havertz earned a big-money £72 million move to Chelsea after impressing during a four-season spell at Bayer Leverkusen. The German was directly involved in 77 goals in 150 appearances for Leverkusen, making him one of the most talented prospects of the game.
He endured a tough start to his 2020-21 Premier League campaign and struggled to adapt to the rigors of English football. But with more game time under his belt, the 22-year-old looked more at ease and established himself as a regular under Thomas Tuchel.
Havertz played a key part in Chelsea's Champions League win by scoring his first goal in the competition during the final to help the Blues lift the coveted trophy again.
Havertz finished the season with nine goals and nine assists in all competitions for the club. While that seems decent, his performances in the last few months would have certainly convinced many about why he is deserving of such high wages.
#2 Trent Alexander Arnold - £180,000
Trent Alexander-Arnold recently signed a new four-year contract at Liverpool, making him one of the Premier League youngsters with the highest wages. His latest deal saw a significant rise from his previous wages, joining Mohamed Salah and Virgil van Dijk as one of Liverpool's highest earners.
It is a deserved pay rise for the right-back, who has established himself as one of the best full-backs in the world following his debut for the Reds in 2016.
He played a key role in helping Liverpool win their sixth Champions League title in 2019 before helping the Reds win the Premier League the following season.
Alexander-Arnold has produced outrageous stats for Liverpool as a right-back. In 183 appearances, the youngster has scored 10 goals and provided 46 assists in all competitions. He also holds the record for most assists by a defender in a Premier League season with 13.
The England international is just 22-years-old, with many tipping him to transition to a midfielder as his career progresses. He certainly has all the tools at his disposal to become one of the best in the middle of the park, but his best position will always be at right-back.
#1 Jadon Sancho - £350,000
A long transfer saga finally came to an end this summer when Manchester United signed Jadon Sancho from Borussia Dortmund for £76 million.
Regarded as one of the best young players in the world, Sancho was heavily linked with United last summer but a move failed to materialize. The 22-year-old moved to the Premier League this summer after three brilliant seasons with Dortmund. He was a star for the Bundesliga giants, scoring 50 goals and providing 64 assists in 137 games in all competitions for the club.
Now at Manchester United, the English forward will be looking to continue his form in the Premier League. He has been placed on a huge £350,000-a-week wages, making him the highest paid youngster and the 4th highest paid player in the Premier League.
Sancho has failed to impress in his first few matches for the Red Devils and will definitely need to improve his form if he wants to justify his gargantuan wages.
