Chelsea are off to a good start under their new manager, Maurizio Sarri. They have won the first two games of a new Premier League season and are looking good for more. Sarri replaced Conte this summer and has made some exciting signings.
Kepa Arrizabalaga replaced Thibaut Courtois, who signed for Real Madrid. Jorginho, arguably the best midfielder in Serie A last season, signed for Chelsea in a big money deal. They have also signed Mateo Kovacic on loan from Real Madrid.
Chelsea has built a legacy in recent years and players like Didier Drogba, Frank Lampard, Fernando Torres, Deco, John Terry, Gianfranco Zola, Michael Ballack, and Arjen Robben have been a part of it.
Chelsea are one of the highest paid clubs in European football and has quite a few world-class names. Many of Chelsea’s first team stars earn a handsome salary.
Without much ado, let’s take a look at the wages and salary of 19 first team stars at Stamford Bridge.
1. Eden Hazard, £200,000 per week
The Belgian international is one of the most sought-after players in world football right now. Three-time Chelsea Player of the Season, Hazard has been an integral part of this Chelsea side, ever since his arrival in 2012. The 27 year forward has scored 89 goals for the Blues and has also created many more. A technically gifted player, Hazard is one of the best attacking players in the world at the moment.
2. Kepa Arrizabalaga, £192,000 per week
The 23-year-old shot-stopper is the most expensive goalkeeper in the world right now. Chelsea paid a huge £71.6 million for his signature this summer and also offered him a bumper pay rise. The Spaniard is currently one of the top earners at the club. Kepa was impressive for Athletic Bilbao in LaLiga and Chelsea wasted no time in bringing him to the Premier League to replace Thibaut Courtois.
3 Cesc Fabregas, £156,000 per week
The former Arsenal and Barcelona star has been one of the most successful central midfielders in the Premier League. After a great career at the Emirates, Fabregas played for the Catalan giants and then returned to the Premier League with Chelsea in 2014. The 31-year-old has won two Premier League titles with Chelsea so far.
