Footballers earn the kind of money that the majority of people can only dream of.
A Premier League footballer on average receives around £60,000-per-week to play a sport they love – nothing short of a fantasy for many people growing up.

s – the most by any player from the continent.
His journey across various different countries towards the latter part of his career, including the UAE, China, India and Turkey, certainly left him a vast amount of wealth.
