Dutch centre-back Jan-Paul van Hecke began his Premier League journey in 2020, signing for Brighton & Hove Albion. However, he was immediately loaned out after signing, spending a season with Heerenveen and then another with Blackburn Rovers.

Since his return to Brighton in 2022, Van Hecke has developed into a reliable defender and a strong presence in the backline for the Seagulls in the seasons that followed.

Van Hecke has now established himself as Brighton's first-choice centre back, with a contract that runs until 2027.

The Dutchman's salary, however, is relatively modest compared to other stars in the team. Exactly how much does he earn?

  • Top 5 earners in the Premier League

    While Brighton's salaries may seem impressive, they are relatively modest compared to the Premier League's top earners. The list is predictably led by the league's most prominent figures.

    Erling Haaland of Manchester City tops the list, having secured a nine-year contract that extends his stay at the Etihad until 2034. Following him is another City standout, Kevin De Bruyne, with Egyptian winger Mohamed Salah ranking third.

    Casemiro represents Manchester United as their sole entry at fourth, while Liverpool's captain Virgil Van Dijk completes the list in fifth place.

    Highest paid players in the world

    Despite the substantial salaries in the Premier League, neither player ranks among the top earners in global football.

    Ex-Manchester City star Riyad Mahrez holds the third position, while Senegalese internationals Sadio Mane and Kalidou Koulibaly complete the list in fourth and fifth places, respectively.
