FULL LIST: Top 11 most underpaid EPL players – Report

n n

Premier League footballers are among the highest-paid athletes in world sport, but some stars are still considered underpaid when their salaries are measured against their performances and market value.

n

Using reported wage figures from Capology, a list of the 11 most underpaid players in the Premier League has been compiled, highlighting several standout performers who are earning significantly less than many of their peers.

n

Brighton goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen heads the list of undervalued stars. The Netherlands international reportedly earns £35,000 per week despite establishing himself as one of the league’s most reliable goalkeepers and attracting interest from several Champions League clubs.

n

Tottenham defender Djed Spence also features after reportedly earning £40,000 per week. The versatile full-back has enjoyed an impressive rise and continues to be linked with a potential move abroad.

n

Brentford dominate the list with three representatives. Centre-backs Sepp van den Berg (£20,000) and Nathan Collins (£30,000) have become key figures in the club’s defence, while winger Kevin Schade, who reportedly earns just £10,000 per week, is the lowest-paid player on the list despite his consistent goal contributions.

n

Manchester City’s Nico O’Reilly is included after a breakthrough campaign in which he established himself as one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents. The 21-year-old is reportedly on £30,000 per week, although many expect that figure to rise when he signs a new contract.

n

Brighton midfielder Carlos Baleba is another surprise inclusion. Widely regarded as one of the division’s top defensive midfielders, the Cameroon international reportedly earns just £12,500 per week. Crystal Palace’s Adam Wharton also makes the XI, with his reported £35,000 weekly salary looking modest given his growing reputation.

n

Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye earns an estimated £45,000 per week and remains one of the Toffees’ most influential attacking players, while Bournemouth teenager Eli Junior Kroupi (£20,000) and Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor (£25,000) complete the line-up after breakthrough campaigns that have attracted widespread attention.
