#7 Eric Dier - £85,000 per week
One of the big winners in the Jose Mourinho regime at Tottenham Hotspur, Eric Dier has switched position, moving from a holding midfield berth to become one of the side’s first-choice centre-backs. And thus far at least, the switch has paid off, as he’s been one of the side’s best performers in 2020-21.
It’s also paid off for Dier in financial terms, too. The summer saw the England international rewarded for his efforts with a lucrative new deal worth a reported £85k per week, which makes him Tottenham Hotspur’s highest-paid defender.
#6 Hugo Lloris - £100,000 per week
Tottenham Hotspur’s current captain, French veteran goalkeeper Hugo Lloris remains one of the Premier League’s most reliable shot-stoppers. The current season has seen him in tremendous form, and his saves have been a major reason why Tottenham Hotspur currently have the joint-tightest defence in the Premier League.
With his current £100k-per-week contract set to expire in the summer of 2022, there have been recent reports that Tottenham Hotspur could look to ink a new deal with him sooner rather than later. Given that he’s highly paid and is already 33 years old, it’s not inconceivable that he could hang up his gloves in North London.
#5 Dele Alli - £100,000 per week
England international Dele Alli makes a reported £100k per week at Tottenham Hotspur, making him one of the club’s highest-paid players. However, his time in North London could soon be coming to an end.
Dele Alli has only made a handful of appearances for Tottenham Hotspur in 2020-21 and has also struggled for form in recent months.
Given that he’s still only 24 years old and was fabulous during Jose Mourinho’s early days at the club, there’s every chance that he could get back to his best later in the season. However, nagging injuries and questions around his best position simply won’t go away. With a contract running until 2024, the club may well choose to cash in on Dele Alli before it gets too late.
#4 Son Heung-Min - £140,000 per week
In 2020-21, Son Heung-Min has arguably been Tottenham Hotspur’s most outstanding player. The South Korean has been absolutely deadly in front of goal, scoring a total of ten goals in 13 appearances across all competitions. In fact, his eight Premier League strikes put him at the top of the race for this season’s Golden Boot.
It’s this vein of form that has triggered Tottenham Hotspur to reportedly look to tie the South Korean down to a new contract at the club. Son Heung-Min's current deal with Spurs runs until 2023. But there have been rumours that the club may offer him over £200k per week. That would put him in line with Harry Kane and may lure him to commit his immediate future to the club.
#3 Tanguy Ndombele - £200,000 per week
Back in March, it looked like Tanguy Ndombele would go down as an expensive mistake in Tottenham Hotspur’s recent history. The club’s record £63m signing had largely struggled for traction since his arrival from Lyon, and his form made a mockery of his hefty £200k-per-week contract.
However, 2020-21 has seen Ndombele transform into the player that Tottenham Hotspur fans hoped they would get when he first arrived in North London in the summer of 2019. He’s established himself as one of the club’s key midfielders, and no other Tottenham Hotspur player possesses the ball-carrying skills that the Frenchman does.
With six Premier League starts to his name this season, Ndombele has well and truly convinced Jose Mourinho of his talents, and that alone could be his biggest achievement to date.
#2 Gareth Bale - £220,000 per week
Tottenham Hotspur fans were sent into raptures this September when it was revealed that a deal had been done with Real Madrid to bring Welsh superstar Gareth Bale back to North London after seven years. Bale’s current deal with Tottenham Hotspur is a year-long loan, and it’s one that financially suits the London club.
According to reports, Tottenham Hotspur are footing £220k per week towards his wages, the rest of which – apparently around £380k – are still being paid by Real Madrid.
Gareth Bale has yet to reach top form since returning to Tottenham Hotspur, as he has only just regained full fitness. However, his recent winner against Brighton was a glimpse of what could be – and if the Welshman could click, he could well help Tottenham Hotspur make a real Premier League title charge this season.
#1 Harry Kane - £250,000 per week
It should come as no surprise to learn that on a deal that is reportedly worth £250k per week, talismanic striker Harry Kane is Tottenham Hotspur’s highest-paid player. The England captain’s importance to the Tottenham Hotspur cause simply cannot be understated at this stage.
The 2020-21 campaign may be just a handful of games old, but Harry Kane has already had eight goals and nine assists to his name in just 15 appearances across all competitions. It’s a record barely matched across Europe, and it’s probably fair to say that Kane has been the Premier League’s most outstanding performer this season.
Kane has a contract with Tottenham Hotspur till 2024, which makes his move away from North London highly unlikely. If Tottenham Hotspur are indeed to put together a Premier League title challenge this season, it’s safe to say that Harry Kane would have to play a leading role from the front.
