ERLING HAALAND'S mind-boggling new £500,000-per-week deal has made the Norwegian the highest-paid Premier League player EVER. Manchester City have announced that the goal-scoring machine has signed a 10-year-contract worth £26million per season. The 24-year-old's record breaking deal, which runs until 2034, has knocked City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne off his perch as the Prem's top earner.

It puts the total value close to £250million and overtakes Chelsea's nine-year-deal for Cole Palmer to become the longest contract in Prem history. Haaland, who was previously contracted until 2027, has proved a phenomenon at City, scoring 111 goals in only 126 games since signing from Borussia Dortmund for £50million in summer 2022.

And now SunSport has taken a look at the revised 10 biggest earners after twice Golden Boot winner Haaland's mammoth new deal. Arsenal forked out an initial £60million and an additional £5million in potential add-ons to sign Havertz from Chelsea in the summer of 2023.

He usurped Gabriel Jesus as the highest-paid player at the Emirates and his contract also includes an additional £50,000-per-week in potential bonuses. The Germany international silenced his critics in his debut season, but has faced horrific abuse from Arsenal fans for his poor finishing as Mikel Arteta's men were dumped out of the FA Cup by Man Utd last Sunday.
