Here's a look at the top 10 highest earners at West Ham United currently: 10 Guido Rodriguez £75,000 per week
West Ham were able to make Guido Rodriguez one of their top 10 earners after picking him up on a free transfer in the summer of 2024.
The central midfielder signed a three-year London Stadium deal at the time on £3.9m per season.
9 Jean-Clair Todibo £80,000 per week
Jean-Clair Todibo’s move to West Ham became permanent in 2025 following his loan spell from Nice. The French defender cost the Irons around £36m and is on more than £4m per season.
8 Aaron Wan-Bissaka £90,000 per week
Right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka signed a seven-year deal when he swapped Manchester United for West Ham in 2024.
The Englishman has been a regular for the Irons and, providing he remains with the club u til 2031, will pick up more than £32m in wages.
7 Niclas Fullkrug £90,000 per week
Centre-forward Niclas Fullkrug was one of the marquee 2024 signings, coming in from Borussia Dortmund after helping them to the Champions League final.
The Germany international is already over the age of 30, though, so the £27m fee West Ham paid for his services appears to be a gamble.
6 Tomas Soucek £90,000 per week
Tomas Soucek is someone you cannot question when it comes to West Ham United. He’s defensively solid and provides that extra attacking threat with his runs into the box and aerial ability from set-pieces.
As a reliable performer, £90,000 per week doesn’t seem extortionate at all in the scheme of things.
5 Max Kilman £100,000 per week
Former West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui worked with Max Kilman at Wolves and sealed a reunion with the centre-back in 2024.
The Englishman was captain at Molineux and is under contract with West Ham until 2031.
4 James Ward-Prowse £115,000 per week
James Ward-Prowse was actually sent on loan to Nottingham Forest for the 2024/25 season, however, the Hammers big earner returned in 2025 halfway through his temporary move to the City Ground.
Those at the London Stadium seemingly viewed it as a mistake to send the talented midfielder elsewhere and recalled him to become a part of the Irons squad.
3 Alphonse Areola £120,000 per week
French goalkeeper Alphonse Areola has been on £120,000 per week since his permanent move to West Ham from PSG in 2022.
He has been in and out of the team during his time in London, and his contract expires in 2027.
2 Lucas Paqueta £150,000 per week
West Ham splashed the cash on Lucas Paqueta back in 2022, and despite being linked with a London Stadium exit on multiple occasions, the Brazilian remains an Irons player for the 2025/26 season.
Under contract until 2027, Paqueta collects £7.8m per season with the Hammers.
1 Jarrod Bowen £150,000 per week
You can’t argue that Jarrod Bowen deserves to be at the top of the list with Paqueta after witnessing his performances in previous campaigns.
There are attackers in the Premier League on way more money who have had way less influence, so the club captain earned his new deal to take him to £150,000 per week.
