Adel Taarabt has been paid handsomely for his Premier League service.

Even average Premier League players earn more in a week than we do in a year

And there are a lot of average Premier League footballers.

IT IS PRETTY disheartening to know that even a mediocre Premier League footballer can bank more cash for a crap performance on a wet night in Stoke than we can for slaving away for an entire year.

The Daily Mail have done a survey of most of the major football leagues in the world and estimate that the average Premier League salary is about €55,000 per week and €2.85 million a year.

The Premier League had the highest weekly wage by far. Here are how some of the other leagues around the world compare.

Bundesliga – €35,000 per week
Serie A – €31,470 per week
La Liga – €29,000 per week
Championship – €11,750 per week
SPL – €4,420 per week

My god, it must be great to be a footballer.
