Romelu Lukaku is joining Chelsea on wages rising to a staggering £450,000-a-week.
Lukaku has overtaken N'Golo Kante as Chelsea's top earner following his mega-money move from Inter Milan.
Chelsea completed their £98million swoop for the 28-year-old on Thursday, with the European champions finally landing the elite goalscorer that Thomas Tuchel has sought after this summer.
The Athletic reports Lukaku comes back to west London as the highest earner in Tuchel's squad, with the Belgian's salary dwarfing new team-mate Kante's £290,000-per-week wage.
The outlet reports that, once image rights and bonuses are taken into account, Lukaku is set to pocket somewhere between £325,000 and £450,00-per-week at Chelsea.
Lukaku's wage could be as much as £160,000-per-week greater than Kante's, while it puts him in the upper echelons of the Premier League's best earners.
