Premier League releases list of most underpaid players

A joint analysis of Premier League wages identified eleven players whose salaries are considered low relative to their on‑field contributions and market value. Brighton & Hove Albion goalkeeper Bart Verbruggen tops the list with a weekly wage of roughly £35,000, while Tottenham defender Djed Spence earns about £40,000 per week. Brentford supplies three entries: centre‑back Sepp van den Berg (£20,000), captain Nathan Collins (£30,000) and winger Kevin Schade (£10,000), the latter being the lowest‑paid among the group. Manchester City’s emerging talent Nico O’Reilly is reported to receive £30,000 weekly, and Cameroon midfielder Carlos Baleba earns around £12,500. Additional names include Crystal Palace midfielder Adam Wharton (£35,000), Everton forward Iliman Ndiaye (£45,000), Bournemouth teenager Eli Junior Kroupi (£20,000) and Sunderland striker Wilson Isidor (£25,000). The compilation, based on Capology wage data and reported by Planet Football, highlights a disparity between player performance and compensation in one of the world’s highest‑paid football leagues.
