Top 5 best paid U21 Premier League players in 2024
5. Radu Dragusin & Destiny Udogie (Spurs) – £85k per week
After signing for the Lilywhites in the January transfer window, Dragusin has emerged as one of the top U21 earners in the Premier League, matching his teammate Destiny Udogie at £85k per week.
4. Rasmus Hojlund (Man Utd) – £85k per week
Hojlund was signed this past summer from Atalanta for a fee worth £72 million. And after initially struggling to get going in the Premier League, the Dane has now found his feet. He has scored ten goals in all competitions this far, including an impressive run in the Champions League.
3. Carney Chukwuemeka & Levi Colwill (Chelsea) – £100k per week
Levi Colwill is one of the few academy graduates to have been tied down as part of the BlueCo era, and is one of the highest earning youngsters in the Premier League at £100k per week alongside fellow Chelsea teammate Carney Chukwuemeka.
The latter has been sidelined with injury, causing him to miss a significant amount of game time this season. But now that he is back, he could build on the promising display he showed at the start of the season.
2. Ryan Gravenberch (Liverpool) – £150k per week
After signing from Bayern Munich last summer for a £35 million transfer fee, Ryan Gravenberch has slowly grown into the Liverpool squad. The Dutchman has signed a five-year contract with the Reds and is the second best paid U21 Premier League player behind someone who doesn’t play for the big six.
1. Ansu Fati (Brighton) – £160k per week
Fati was signed from Barcelona this past summer and is on loan with the Seagulls. Even though he has missed 13 games through injury, he has scored four goals and provided one assist in 15 games across all competitions. With Brighton covering 80% of his £200,000 per week salary at Barcelona, he is the best paid U21 Premier League player right now.
