Frank Lampard's sacking at Chelsea will put the spotlight back on the under-performing players at Stamford Bridge.

Lampard, 42, leaves with the club ninth in the Premier League after last week's defeat at Leicester, having won once in their past five league matches.

Lampard did not sign any players during his first season as the club were operating under a transfer embargo, but spent more than £200m on seven signings last summer, including £45m on Leicester's Ben Chilwell and £71m on midfielder Kai Havertz from Bayer Leverkusen.

It is the most Chelsea have spent in a single transfer window, topping the £186m at the start of the 2017-18 season.

Lampard ultimately paid the price as his new recruits failed to inspire a title challenge, with Chelsea sitting ninth in the Premier League, 11 points behind leaders Manchester United.

And while one of the club's new signings is earning the most wages – it might not be who you would expect.

According to Spotrac, an online sports team and player contract website, Chilwell is making the most at Stamford Bridge, with a deal worth a tidy £9,880,000 a year, or £190,000 a week ($260,000).
