#5 David Luiz - £120,000 per week
David Luiz enjoyed a stellar first season with Chelsea after joining them in August 2016 as he inspired The Blues to the Premier League title. However, a falling out with the erstwhile Chelsea manager Antonio Conte and an injury setback ruined the 2017-18 season for him.
He only managed 17 appearances in the entirety of the season, and remained out of favor. Nevertheless, Conte's departure gives him a new lease of life and presents him with a golden opportunity to live up to his billing after missing out on Brazil's final 23 man squad for Russia.
