Top 7 highest paid Chelsea players so far in 2018

#2 Danny Drinkwater - £120,000 per week

Drinkwater

It's astounding to see Chelsea fork out £120,000 every week for a player who is not a regular starter for the club, and has a bleak future under the new manager.

With Jorginho's acquisition, Drinkwater's position has been placed in jeopardy as he will face cut-throat competition for game time with the likes of Fabregas, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, Barkley, Bakayoko and of course - N'Golo Kante.

As such, he will find opportunities under Sarri hard to come by and should probably opt for a switch to a new club.
