CHELSEA are set to offer Eden Hazard a bumper new £300,000-a-week deal… one that will make him the highest earner in English football.

The mega-money deal will take the Belgian, 26, above Manchester United’s Paul Pogba in the pay stakes.

Hazard has not long broken back into the Chelsea first-team after suffering a broken ankle in the summer.

He made his return in the 2-1 win over Leicester earlier this month after playing for his country during the international break.

Hazard is currently still one of the top earners in England on £220,000 per week.

But should the Belgian winger put pen to paper on the eye-watering new contract, how would the top ten highest-earners table look?

Blues ace Hazard sits top, with United star Pogba not far behind – but it’s the French star’s new team-mate Romelu Lukaku who takes the No3 spot.

Hazard’s international team-mate is earning a whopping £250,000 since swapping Everton for United.

In fourth is Manchester City veteran Sergio Aguero - who rakes in around £240,000 per week.

The Argentine star is level with fellow City star Yaya Toure on the £240,000 mark.

Arsenal new-boy Alexandre Lacazette is the club's highest earner... said to be taking home around £200,000 per week.

That figure is level with yet another City star, David Silva.
