Arsenal King, Thierry Henry tops this list! A review of the financial accounts of Arsenal by the Arsenal Supporters Trust has revealed that Thierry Henry received around £10 million pounds in wages and fees in his final season with the club.
Looking at the math,

Thierry Henry earned roughly 208k a week in his final season at Arsenal. This may not have entirely been his weekly salary, but this is how much he would’ve earned if the £10 miilion were wages only.
