THE ultimate England rich list of highest earners ahead of the World Cup has been revealed.
And there is a shock outcast at the very top of the pile – while Marc Guehi has soared up the table with his Manchester City transfer.
Thomas Tuchel will be plotting his squad to take to North America and hope to end 60 years of hurt for the Three Lions.
But due to only being allowed to name an expected 26 players, some big-name stars on very big wages are set to miss out.
And that may well include the highest-paid Englishman in world football.
Ivan Toney left the Premier League when he joined Saudi side Al-Ahli from Brentford in 2024.

That saw him put pen to paper on an eye-watering four-year contract worth £425,000 per week.
And Capology figures have Toney down as England’s top earner.
He is closely followed by Harry Kane.
The England captain is on £416,000 per week at Bayern Munich.
Then it is Real Madrid superstar Jude Bellingham, who earns a reported £347,000 per week.
That means none of the top three are playing in the Premier League.
Things get a tad confusing around Marcus Rashford.
At Manchester United, his contract was worth £325,000 per week – but Capology have him down as earning £233,000 during his loan at Barcelona.
It is a similar story with Jadon Sancho, who was initially on £300,000 at Old Trafford but is likely on significantly less during his loan at Aston Villa.
Raheem Sterling is one of the Premier League’s very highest earners at £325,000 but is frozen out at Chelsea with no appearances this season and out of contention for Tuchel’s World Cup plans.
Guehi penned a staggering £300,000-a-week five-and-a-half-year contract with his £20million move from Crystal Palace to the Etihad.
That saw him become England’s highest-paid defender.
And he is set to be joined in the £300,000 club when Bukayo Saka officially signs his new Arsenal deal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold’s contract at Real Madrid is said to be worth £278,000 per week.
That pips fellow right-back Reece James.
The Chelsea captain earns £250,000 per week at Stamford Bridge – the same amount as John Stones at Manchester City.
Declan Rice pockets £240,000 every seven days, £15,000 more than Etihad creative duo Phil Foden and Jack Grealish – although the latter is on loan at Everton this season.
Under the £200,000 threshold, Harry Maguire (£190,000) and Eberechi Eze (£180,000) will both hope to be on the England plane.
There is a cluster of Englishmen on £150,000 per week – including Mason Mount, Ben White, Noni Madueke, Kalvin Phillips, Luke Shaw, Jordan Pickford and Anthony Gordon – but Chelsea hero Cole Palmer is only on £130,000.
