Mesut Ozil now ranks at the very top of the Premier League top earners list after signing a new deal with Arsenal.
The German will now take home £350,000-per-week until 2021.
Ozil is a cut above the rest in terms of income against his teammates. New signing Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang is the second highest earner at Arsenal, but the Gabonese is on a mere £180,000-a-week.
But how does the German rank among his fellow Premier League professionals?
Ozil ranks at the very top alongside former teammate Alexis Sanchez who is on the same wage at Manchester United.
Sanchez’s new teammate, Paul Pogba banks £290,000. Meanwhile, Manchester City ace Kevin De Bruyne is paid £280,000 for his services. The 5th highest earner is another Man Utd star in Romelu Lukaku. The Belgium international who was bought for £75m last summer pockets £250,000 at the ‘Theatre of Dreams’.
Gooners, relatively speaking does Mesut deserve his wages? Let us know in the comments…
