The highest paid player at Tottenham Hotspur- Player Wages and more

Mid-level earners: First team regulars

9 of Tottenham’s players fit into the category of mid-level earners who are also first-team regulars. The lowest paid one of these is currently midfielder Harry Winks. The England international has established himself as a regular thanks to his metronomic passing style, and he’s currently paid £49,000 per week – a figure likely to rise when his next contract is discussed.

Defender Toby Alderweireld is surprisingly on the same wages as Winks - £49,000 per week – which might explain why he’s been demanding a hefty wage hike to sign a new deal. The player reportedly wants £150,000 per week, which would be three times what he’s on now. Tottenham have triggered an extension in his contract to keep him until 2020, but this also means he can leave for a fee of £25m – and if the club refuse to pay him what he wants, he’s expected to leave in the summer.

Could Toby Alderweireld leave Tottenham in the summer?

It’s interesting to note that both of Tottenham’s left-backs – Danny Rose and Ben Davies – are both on the same wage; £59,999 per week. Both players’ contracts also expire at the same time – June 2021. It has been reported that Davies will be offered a new deal – and more money – while Rose’s future is somewhat up-in-the-air, but for now they remain on an equal footing.

Defensive midfielder Eric Dier sits just above them on the ladder on £60,000 per week. This one could be interesting as his current deal also expires in July 2021, there’s been no news on him signing a new deal recently, and a report from October suggested that reports of players’ wages at rival clubs like Manchester United could be enough to turn his head. However, Dier has made no noise about a potential move just yet.

Defenders Davinson Sanchez and Kieran Trippier are reportedly on the same wage - £64,999 per week. Both men seem happy with their positions at Tottenham and are under long-term deals – Trippier’s expires in the summer of 2022, while Sanchez only inked his latest deal until 2024 this summer. It’s seeing payouts like these that really illustrate Tottenham’s wage structure though, as players on a similar level may be on more money at rival clubs, ignoring any bonuses.

Kieran Trippier is making just under £65k per week on his current deal

Due to injuries, powerful midfielder Victor Wanyama hasn’t really featured a lot for Tottenham this season, but he’s still one of the club’s highest earners at £65,000 per week. Given his age (27) and injury history, it wouldn’t be surprising to see Spurs attempt to offload him in the summer – particularly as Harry Winks and Moussa Sissoko seem to be filling his position well.

Finally, French full-back Serge Aurier earns £69,999 per week – somewhat of a surprise given he largely plays as back-up to Kieran Trippier, who earns slightly less. The likely explanation? Trippier signed his most recent contract before Aurier arrived, and the Frenchman of course came via mega-rich Paris St. Germain.
