Monster Leicester City wage bill revealed after club plunged into League 1 relegation

The Foxes are going to have to make some serious cuts.

On paper, Gary Rowett's side are still star-studded for such a loss to occur, meaning with a League 1 season awaiting, shifts to the monster wage bill will likely have to be made.

We've seen big clubs in the third division before, Wolves in 2013/14, Southampton between 2009/11, Leeds United even plunged below the second tier in 2007, before they started their long climb back to the Prem.

Though these three practically always ply their trade between the top-two tiers of English football, none have experienced the glorious highs of winning the Premier League like Leicester.

A decade ago, The Foxes were beating Swansea City to edge closer to the 5000/1 shot. Jamie Vardy, Riyad Mahrez and N'Golo Kante were world-beaters starting every week at the King Power Stadium. A decade on though, the club recently lost at home to the Swans as relegation became a near reality. Only drawing against Hull City on Tuesday night, relegation was then confirmed.

Now, the club have to deal with the financial repercussions, with a monster-looking wage bill below, as per Footy Stats.

So, how big is their actual wage bill? Here are the top earners:

• 1 Harry Winks - £90k per week
• 2 Ricardo Pereira - £80k per week
• 3 Patson Daka - £75k per week
• 4 Jannik Vestergaard - £60k per week
• 5 Hamza Choudhury - £50k per week
• 6 Oliver Skipp - £50k per week
• 7 Jamal Lascelles - £50k per week
• 8 Harry Souttar - £40k per week
• 9 Joe Aribo - £35k per week
• 10 Bobby De Cordova-Reid - £35k per week
