#6 Kevin De Bruyne (Manchester City)
Wages: £200,000 per week
The Manchester City midfielder is on course to pick up the PFA Player of the Year following his performances this season and deservedly so. After 20 games in the league, he has 6 goals and 9 assists with City currently on an unbeaten run which includes an 18-match winning run!
The Belgian midfielder is what makes Pep Guardiola's team tick. Alongside David Silva, their possession game has become unstoppable to the point where teams only sit back with damage limitation on the their minds rather than attacking City.
De Bruyne is very happy at the club and has a contract until 2021 - a deal the club plan to extend and thereby improve his wages as well.
And judging by his performances, he could soon be the highest-paid player in the league a few years down the line.
