The Premier League wants footballers from the division's 20 clubs to take a 30 per cent pay cut to cope with losses caused by the coronavirus pandemic.

Here we take a look at how those proposals will affect the highest earners at Aston Villa, who are second bottom and three points from safety with only 10 games remaining.

The money the players agree to forgo is expected to go to good causes, including protective equipment for frontline health workers and towards salaries of non-playing staff members also forced to take wage cuts.

Above is a picture gallery of Villa's highest earning players and how much they stand to forgo in the event of agreeing a 30 per cent wage cut.
