Wilfried Zaha is the top earner at Crystal Palace, on £130,000 a week. Crystal Palace players and management staff continue to be paid their full wages. Chairman Steve Parish reassured other staff that they will not lose out financially during the current crisis, including matchday employees.. All figures according to Spotrac.com

The 20 Premier League clubs that took part in the 2020/21 season have submitted lists of players they will be retaining in their squads, and ones they will be releasing.

All clubs must submit their respective lists by June 23.

It is worth noting that player contracts typically will run until June 30, and therefore players who are soon to be out of contract are still on the 'retained' list at the time of publishing.

Our sixth club is Crystal Palace, who comfortably preserved their top-flight status with 44 points.

The new campaign will see plenty of new faces though. Manager Roy Hodgson steps down after four years in charge while a raft of senior players including Gary Cahill and Scott Dann have been told they have no future at Selhurst Park.
