7 terribly underpaid footballers

#1 Harry Kane

Tottenham Hotspur v Arsenal - Premier League — Citizen Kane of Spurs

It seems as though Tottenham Hotspur have the ability to keep some of the best players in their teams by paying them the least possible amount they could. Harry Kane is one such player. The England international—who was infamously dubbed as a one-season wonder by many quarters of the footballing fraternity—is one of the most lethal strikers in the world.

In fact, in the last 3 seasons, excluding this one, he has never scored less than 28 goals. He has already scored 18 goals from 21 games this season and is on course to have his best season as a footballer.

And all of this after having a dry spell earlier in the season.

His wages? A mere £100,000-a-week—making him the highest paid player at the Lilywhites. When you consider the wages of Luis Suarez or Edinson Cavani, players who have a similar strike-rate as the Englishman, you realize that Spurs are lucky to have him play for that much.
