#8 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain)
French sensation Kylian Mbappe is a newbie who made this list following his loan move from Monaco to Paris Saint-Germain last summer. He currently earns £15.9 million per year, under his new contract with Les Parisiens.
Mbappe grabbed the Golden Boy award in 2017, beating countryman Ousmane Dembele and Marcus Rashford to the title. At the Parc Des Princes, he has successfully replicated his form with 15 goals and 11 assists in 27 games to date.
The prodigal Frenchman man is an indispensable part of a devastating trio alongside Neymar and Edinson Cavani. With him churning out dazzling performances week in week out for the club, PSG certainly won't hesitate in triggering his £166 million buy-out clause next summer.
