21. Roberto Firmino
Liverpool, £180,000. The Brazilian forward is part of Liverpool's 'Fab three' frontline alongside Salah and Sadio Mane.
22. Bruno Fernandes
Manchester United, £180,000. The Portuguese playmaker has transformed the fortunes of Manchester United since joining in January 2020 from Sporting.
23. Timo Werner
Chelsea, £170,000. Much was expected of the Germany international after a prolific spell at RB Leipzig. Has struggled after a promising start in West London, though.
24. Juan Mata
Manchester United, £160,000. The Spanish schemer is very much on the periphery at Old Trafford these days.
25. Christian Pulisic
Chelsea, £158,654. Enjoyed a superb end to the 2019/20 campaign but injury has hampered his playing time this term.
26. Fernandinho
Manchester City, £150,000. The Brazilian enforcer has lost his role anchoring the City midfielder due to the emergence of Rodri.
27. Kepa Arrizabalaga
Chelsea, £150,000. The world's most expensive goalkeeper is now second choice at Stamford Bridge behind Edouard Mendy.
28. Luke Shaw
Manchester United, £150,000. Never seemed to win over Jose Mourinho but has re-established himself as one of Ebngland's best full-backs under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer.
29. Bernardo Silva
Manchester City, £150,000. The Portuguese can operate in a variety of positions and is often one of the first names on the team sheet at City.
30. Cesar Azpilicueta
Chelsea, £145,000. The dependable Spaniard is able to operate anywhere across the back line.
31. N'Golo Kante
Chelsea, £144,231. The French midfielder is arguably the best box-to-box midfielder on the planet.
32. Jamie Vardy
Leicester City, £140,000. The prolific striker has scored more than 100 Premier League goals for Leicester in the Premier League.
33. Jordan Henderson
Liverpool, £140,000. Asked to fill in at centre-back as Liverpool's injury crisis at centre-back hampered their title defence.
34. Son Heung-min

35. James Milner

36. Kai Havertz
Chelsea, £140,000. Signed to much fanfare by Chelsea but the German has struggled to establish himself a s a first-team regular during his debut campaign.
37. Ilkay Gundogan

38. Wilfried Zaha
Crystal Palace, £130,000. The Eagles' talisman is enjoying one of his most prolific campaigns in the Premier League.
39. Kasper Schmeichel
Leicester City, £130,000. One of only two father-sons (Ian Wright and Shawn Wright-Phillips are the other) to win the Premier League title.
40. Rodri
Manchester City, £121,154. The young Spaniard has an old head and his form was enough to dislodge City mainstay Fernandinho.
41. Callum Hudson-Odoi
Chelsea, £120,000. Made a promising start to life in the top tier before suffering an Achilles injury that sidelined him for months. Starting to show his true form again.
42. Naby Keita
Liverpool, £120,000. Liverpool won the race to sign the highly-rated Guinean in 2018 but injuries means the Kop are yet to see the best of the African powerhouse on a regular basis.
43. Aymeric Laporte
Manchester City, £120,000. Could vie for the title of best centre-back behind Van Dijk before a serious injury curtailed his z2019/20 campaign. Has found game time hard to come by this season.
44. Victor Lindelof
Manchester United, £120,000. Steady is unspectacular Swede is one of United's most reliable performers.
45. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain
Liverpool, £120,000. Joined on a free transfer from Arsenal in 2017 but much like his time in North London the England midfielder has been dogged by injuries.
46. Donny van de Beek
Manchester United, £120,000. Proved at Ajax he is one of the most creative midfielders in Europe but is yet to stamp his mark at OId Trafford.
47. Riyad Mahrez
Manchester City, £120,000. The Algerian winger has arguably the best first touch in world football. Chips in with his fair share of goals too.
48. Fred
Manchester United, £120,000. The Brazilian took time to settle in England but has shown he is up to the physical demands of the game.
49. Yerry Mina
Everton, £120,000. The Colombian centre-back celebrates winning a tackle like most players celebrate scoring a goal.
50. Nemanja Matic
Manchester United, £120,000. The Serb's experience and assuredness on the ball make him a huge asset.
51. Christian Benteke
Crystal Palace, £120,000. The big Belgian often finds himself playing second fiddle to other strikers at Selhurst Park.
52. Bernard
Everton, £120,000. The Brazil winger has failed to cement a regular place at Goodison since joining from Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018.
53. Jack Grealish
Aston Villa, £120,000. A captain who leads by example. Finally gaining international re3cognition by England for his consistent performances.
54. Ruben Dias
Manchester City, £115,385. Can easily make a claim to be the signing of 2020/21 in the Premier League and for helping John Stones rediscover his best form.
55. Andriy Yarmolenko
West Ham, £115,000. The Ukraine forward often cuts a frustrated figure warming the West Ham bench.
56. Andre Gomes
Everton, £112,212. Portuguese midfielder has struggled to show his best form since recovering from a broken ankle.
57. Jorginho
Chelsea, £110,000. A faourite under Maurizio Sarri, used sparingly under Frank Lampard, the Italy international is once again back in favour at Stamford Bridge under Thomas Tuchel.
58. Olivier Giroud
Chelsea, £110,000. French striker proved he can still operate at the top level with four goals in one Champions League match against Sevilla.
59. Kyle Walker
Manchester City, £110,000. A one-man defender-cum-winger down City's right-hand side.
60. Thiago Silva
Chelsea, £110,000. The Brazilian has shown he has lost none of his class despite his advancing years after joining on a free from PSG.

Treaty of Peace in Perpetuity Agreed Upon by the Chiefs of the Arabian Coast on Behalf of Themselves, Their Heirs and Successors Under the Mediation of the Resident of the Persian Gulf, 1853
(This treaty gave the region the name “Trucial States”.)
We, whose seals are hereunto affixed, Sheikh Sultan bin Suggar, Chief of Rassool-Kheimah, Sheikh Saeed bin Tahnoon, Chief of Aboo Dhebbee, Sheikh Saeed bin Buyte, Chief of Debay, Sheikh Hamid bin Rashed, Chief of Ejman, Sheikh Abdoola bin Rashed, Chief of Umm-ool-Keiweyn, having experienced for a series of years the benefits and advantages resulting from a maritime truce contracted amongst ourselves under the mediation of the Resident in the Persian Gulf and renewed from time to time up to the present period, and being fully impressed, therefore, with a sense of evil consequence formerly arising, from the prosecution of our feuds at sea, whereby our subjects and dependants were prevented from carrying on the pearl fishery in security, and were exposed to interruption and molestation when passing on their lawful occasions, accordingly, we, as aforesaid have determined, for ourselves, our heirs and successors, to conclude together a lasting and inviolable peace from this time forth in perpetuity.

Strait of Hormuz
Fujairah is a crucial hub for fuel storage and is just outside the Strait of Hormuz, a vital shipping route linking Middle East oil producers to markets in Asia, Europe, North America and beyond.
The strait is 33 km wide at its narrowest point, but the shipping lane is just three km wide in either direction. Almost a fifth of oil consumed across the world passes through the strait.
Iran has repeatedly threatened to close the strait, a move that would risk inviting geopolitical and economic turmoil.
Last month, Iran issued a new warning that it would block the strait, if it was prevented from using the waterway following a US decision to end exemptions from sanctions for major Iranian oil importers.

Ten tax points to be aware of in 2026
1. Domestic VAT refund amendments: request your refund within five years
If a business does not apply for the refund on time, they lose their credit.
2. E-invoicing in the UAE
Businesses should continue preparing for the implementation of e-invoicing in the UAE, with 2026 a preparation and transition period ahead of phased mandatory adoption.
3. More tax audits
Tax authorities are increasingly using data already available across multiple filings to identify audit risks.
4. More beneficial VAT and excise tax penalty regime
Tax disputes are expected to become more frequent and more structured, with clearer administrative objection and appeal processes. The UAE has adopted a new penalty regime for VAT and excise disputes, which now mirrors the penalty regime for corporate tax.
5. Greater emphasis on statutory audit
There is a greater need for the accuracy of financial statements. The International Financial Reporting Standards standards need to be strictly adhered to and, as a result, the quality of the audits will need to increase.
6. Further transfer pricing enforcement
Transfer pricing enforcement, which refers to the practice of establishing prices for internal transactions between related entities, is expected to broaden in scope. The UAE will shortly open the possibility to negotiate advance pricing agreements, or essentially rulings for transfer pricing purposes.
7. Limited time periods for audits
Recent amendments also introduce a default five-year limitation period for tax audits and assessments, subject to specific statutory exceptions. While the standard audit and assessment period is five years, this may be extended to up to 15 years in cases involving fraud or tax evasion.
8. Pillar 2 implementation
Many multinational groups will begin to feel the practical effect of the Domestic Minimum Top-Up Tax (DMTT), the UAE's implementation of the OECD’s global minimum tax under Pillar 2. While the rules apply for financial years starting on or after January 1, 2025, it is 2026 that marks the transition to an operational phase.
9. Reduced compliance obligations for imported goods and services
Businesses that apply the reverse-charge mechanism for VAT purposes in the UAE may benefit from reduced compliance obligations.
10. Substance and CbC reporting focus
Tax authorities are expected to continue strengthening the enforcement of economic substance and Country-by-Country (CbC) reporting frameworks. In the UAE, these regimes are increasingly being used as risk-assessment tools, providing tax authorities with a comprehensive view of multinational groups’ global footprints and enabling them to assess whether profits are aligned with real economic activity.

Tips on buying property during a pandemic
Islay Robinson, group chief executive of mortgage broker Enness Global, offers his advice on buying property in today's market.
While many have been quick to call a market collapse, this simply isn’t what we’re seeing on the ground. Many pockets of the global property market, including London and the UAE, continue to be compelling locations to invest in real estate.
While an air of uncertainty remains, the outlook is far better than anyone could have predicted. However, it is still important to consider the wider threat posed by Covid-19 when buying bricks and mortar.
Anything with outside space, gardens and private entrances is a must and these property features will see your investment keep its value should the pandemic drag on. In contrast, flats and particularly high-rise developments are falling in popularity and investors should avoid them at all costs.
Attractive investment property can be hard to find amid strong demand and heightened buyer activity. When you do find one, be prepared to move hard and fast to secure it. If you have your finances in order, this shouldn’t be an issue.
Lenders continue to lend and rates remain at an all-time low, so utilise this. There is no point in tying up cash when you can keep this liquidity to maximise other opportunities.
Keep your head and, as always when investing, take the long-term view. External factors such as coronavirus or Brexit will present challenges in the short-term, but the long-term outlook remains strong.
Finally, keep an eye on your currency. Whenever currency fluctuations favour foreign buyers, you can bet that demand will increase, as they act to secure what is essentially a discounted property.
