After signing for Chelsea, Raheem Sterling has reportedly become one of the highest earners at the Stamford Bridge, but how much does he now earn compared to the likes of N'Golo Kante and Callum Hudson-Odoi at Stamford Bridge?
The English forward became the first signing of the Todd Boehly era at the London club on Wednesday, and could soon be joined by Napoli and Senegal defender Kalidou Koulibaly, who has reportedly agreed to join the team and is set to have medical on Thursday ahead of a potential £32 million (R643 million) move.

Sterling completed his move to the Blues after the club reportedly paid City a £47.5 million (R957 million) fee for his services.
With the 27-year-old having agreed to a five-year contract, which includes the option of a further 12 months, it is believed he is now commanding a salary big enough to make him the club's new top earner.
Per The Athletic, Sterling is now set to earn £300 000 (R6 million), with bonuses and performance incentives taken into consideration, a week in London.
Kante was previously the biggest earner at the club – after Romelu Lukaku had left to rejoin Inter Milan on loan – with his weekly wage of £290 000 (R5.8 million).

As things stand, Lukaku still commands the biggest wage at Chelsea, but his salary is now being paid by Inter in a deal that saw him voluntarily take a 35% pay cut to make the move back to the San Siro feasible.
Interestingly, Callum Hudson-Odoi and Malang Sarr are also among the highest-paid players in Thomas Tuchel's side, with both earning a weekly wage of £120 000 (R2.4 million).
