Jorginho's £57 million transfer in 2018 looked like a huge amount to pay for a player who had not played outside of Italy. But in three seasons with Chelsea, he has proven his worth. His last campaign has been the most productive for him at Chelsea, both personally and collectively.

Thanks to the Champions League triumph and the EURO 2020 win with Italy this summer, Jorginho won the UEFA Men's Players of the Year award. In the process, he became the first midfielder since Luka Modric to lift the prestigious trophy. Jorginho pockets a weekly wage of £110,000 per week at Chelsea.


#11 Saul Niguez - £115,384 per week

Saul Niguez signed for Chelsea on deadline day. Interestingly, the reason why Atletico Madrid let go of their academy product is because they wanted to reduce their wage bill. Moreover, Nuguez had become surplus to requirements for Diego Simeone in recent years.

He has been given the No.17 jersey by Chelsea, which is the same number with which he started his career at Atletico Madrid.


#10 Callum Hudson-Odoi - £120,000 per week

Callum Hudson-Odoi was one of the first Chelsea stars to graduate from the academy to the first team in recent years. But he has been linked with a move away from the club in every transfer window since 2018.

As per recent reports, he was interested in a loan move this summer in search of more game time. But Tuchel was against it, as he sees Hudson-Odoi as one of the players for the future at Chelsea.
