Kelechi Iheanacho Topples Mikel Obi As Eagles Highest Earner (See How Much They Earn)
Kelechi Iheanacho of Manchester City is now the top Nigeria earner in the Premier League on £85,000-a-week to knock off Chelsea star Mikel Obi.
This month, Iheanacho signed a new
two-year contract extension at City till 2021, saying his new contract
will “change the lives of his family”. Mikel, who moved to England 10
years ago, has been the biggest earner from Nigeria for many years and
he is now on 70,000 pounds a week at Stamford Bridge.
The midfielder’s compatriot at ‘The
Blues’, Victor Moses bagged a 50,000 pounds-a-week when he joined
Chelsea from Wigan Athletic in 2012. Watford striker Odion Ighalo is
believed to have improved on his 25,000 pounds-a-week after he recently
signed a contract extension. Defender Kenneth Omeruo is on 15,000 pounds
every week even though he has yet to play an official match for
Chelsea.
It was further gathered that Iheanacho’s
new handlers negotiated this bumper deal even though they are still
locked in an ownership tussle with the player’s previous
representatives, who are based in the United States of America.
Iheanacho’s former agents had proposed a new contract of 50,000
pounds-a-week for the 19-year-old forward. He earned less than 18,000
pounds-a-week when he first joined Manchester City.
