Arsenal's wage structure in 2025 reflects their dramatic rise under Mikel Arteta. From academy talents just breaking through to global stars at their peak, every player's salary reveals something about their role, importance, and future at the club. Here’s the full breakdown—from the smallest contracts to the Premier League's elite earners.

19. Ethan Nwaneri – £6,000/week

The youngest player in Arsenal’s senior squad, Nwaneri earns a modest £6,000 a week. Talks are already underway to secure him a much-improved deal, reflecting his growing role in the team.

18. Karl Hein – £10,000/week

Karl Hein is on £10,000 per week and currently out on loan. As a third-choice keeper, his wage reflects his limited first-team opportunities at the Emirates.

17. Noni Madueke – £50,000/week (estimated)

Though Arsenal haven’t confirmed his wage, Madueke earned £50,000 a week at Chelsea. That figure likely remains unchanged, putting him among the lower earners at the club.

16. Jakub Kiwior – £58,000/week

Kiwior joined from Spezia in 2023 and earns £58,000 per week. While mostly a rotational option, his reliability and flexibility keep him involved.

15. Jurrien Timber – £90,000/week

Timber earns £90,000 a week and filled vital roles across the backline when injuries struck. He’s expected to become even more integral in 2025/26.

14. Leandro Trossard – £90,000/week

Also on £90,000 per week, Trossard has proven to be a clutch performer. His goals and creativity have made him an important squad player since joining in 2023.

13. Mikel Merino – £90,000/week

Merino, a summer 2024 addition, makes £90,000 a week. Used in multiple roles last season—including emergency striker—his tactical versatility has paid off.

12. Martin Zubimendi – £100,000/week

Zubimendi arrived from Real Sociedad and now earns £100,000 per week. A calm presence in midfield, his arrival adds quality and depth to the core of the team.

11. Reiss Nelson – £100,000/week

Nelson's £100,000-per-week wage raised eyebrows due to limited playing time. However, his role as a dependable backup still carries value for Arteta.
