The most expensive defender in the world, Virgil van Dijk earns a huge £150,000 per week at Liverpool.

The Dutch international is arguably the best centre-back in the Premier League and turned Liverpool's troublesome defence into one of the best in just ten months.

Liverpool has conceded just three league goals this season, and are yet to allow the opposition to score a goal at Anfield since February. Van Dijk adds composure to the back-line and also brings the team together with his leadership qualities.

Despite the opportunities to earn even more at Pep Guardiola's Manchester City, Van Dijk chose to join Klopp's men and his decision has been absolutely vindicated.

#2 Roberto Firmino- £180,000 per week

He helped Liverpool reach the Champions League finals last campaign, after many years, and was voted the second best forward of the tournament. Salah is currently the highest scoring Egyptian the Premier League and is also the fastest Liverpool player to score 50 goals in all competitions.
