5 English Premier League football players with lower wage-per-week than Ben Stokes

#4 Kevin de Bruyne (£150,000)

de Bruyne has scored four goals and registered 11 assists so far in the league in 24 matches

The Belgian maestro earns £150,000 per week, same as Cesc Fabregas. Continuing from exactly where he left last year, De Bruyne has been in excellent form for the Skyblues. He has scored four goals and registered 11 assists so far in the league in 24 matches. Bruyne is currently on top of the top assist providers this season.

Since moving to Manchester from Wolfsburg in 2015 for a reported club-record fee of £55 million, he has set the stage on fire with his impeccable passing skills and his excellent vision. He won the League Cup with the club last season and would hope to add to the list of silverwares in the coming years.
