With the new Premier League season underway, it has reportedly been revealed where Lyle Foster ranks among Burnley’s highest earners for the 2025/26 campaign.
Foster returned to the Premier League last week after one season back in the English Championship.
The South Africa international started in his side’s opening match of the campaign away to Tottenham Hotspur, where they suffered a 3-0 defeat.

Just before the season kicked off, Foster swapped his previous number 17 shirt for the number nine jersey, seemingly cementing his place in Scott Parker’s plans this term.
Player contracts and salary data platform Capology has since revealed the earnings of Burnley players this season, with Foster ranking quite high among the best-paid stars at the club.
Capology is a trusted site that is used to reference Premier League players wages.
According to Capology, Foster, whose contract runs until June 2028, earns £32,500 per week (approximately R774 000).
This makes the Bafana Bafana talisman the fifth highest-paid player at the Clarets, behind Josh Cullen, Jaidon Anthony, Bashir Humphreys, and Joe Worrall.
Notably, Burnley signed England international Kyle Walker from Manchester City during the off-season for an undisclosed fee.
According to Football Insider, Walker was earning around £200,000 a week (approximately R4.7 million) at City, and the English giants are reportedly still covering a large part of the defender’s salary, with Burnley believed to be paying only a small portion.
As such, Walker’s actual salary does not appear on Capology due to the way his wages are structured between the two clubs.
