As the Saudi pay was disclosed, Ivan Toney overtook Harry Kane and Jude Bellingham as one of the most paid English football players.

According to reports, Toney will make £400,000 each week after taxes.

His pay would approach £500,000 with performance-based bonuses and add-ons.

A huge improvement above his salary of less than £50,000 per week at Brentford.

When you take into account Toney’s start at League One Peterborough, his new salary seems even more outrageous.

It raises the question of how Toney stacks up against other highly compensated English talent, given his recent enormous earnings.
