Revealed: Earnings of every Leicester City squad member
Which players earn the most money per week at Leicester City. Some of the entrants may surprise with their astronomical salaries.
After so much debate and deliberation from the Blue Army over team tactics, club politics and overall performances, let’s relax and get our ‘voyeur on’. Leicester City’s top-earners may surprise some of you.
At the pinnacle of fees earned a week are three players who you would probably guess quite easily. One or two seem underpaid or may require another urgent pay rise in the summer to warn away Manchester City and Arsenal – yes the reference is of Ben Chilwell.
Just like other normal jobs, as we all do, surely the team compare earnings. Not to mention occasional bad or jealous feelings these comparisons cause with one another, and prospectively then make an issue with the club as demands occur, are met and denied.

Wow. A few surprises there, for example we thought James Maddison would have a few quid more, although he wasn’t a proven Premier League playmaker at the time of signing of course. To be frank, we expected the £40,000 Yohan Benalouane was earning before transferring to Nottingham Forest to be 1/4 of what it is. Even 10k a week would be excessive for a poor backup. Obviously if a team has the aspirations of a Leicester City then they need a deep, adept roster, but that’s ridiculous.
