It’s no secret how much Premier League footballers get paid and now Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang has become one of the highest earners in England thanks to his new deal
Although the financial strain of the COVID-19 pandemic is set to wreak havoc for clubs further down the pyramid, Arsenal have had no problem digging into their pockets to deliver the Gabonese ace a £ 375,000-a-week contract. .

Aubameyang has a new three-year contract
The huge new contract instantly makes him one of the highest earnings in the English top flight – and he was already in sixth place thanks to his previous £ 250,000 a week contract.
It’s a nice reward for proving to be one of the best strikers in the world after moving to Arsenal in 2018 from Borussia Dortmund.
Saturday’s strike against new Premier League boys Fulham – securing a 3-0 win in the opening match of the 2020/21 Premier League season – was his 55th in the top flight in just 85 games.
