Manchester United are behind with £323, seeing a major jump after signing Cristiano Ronaldo, Jadon Sancho and Raphael Varane in the summer.Liverpool's wage bill sits at £314m, but that's £11m less than the previous year despite handing new long-term contracts to the likes of Virgil van Dijk, Trent Alexander-Arnold, Fabinho, Jordan Henderson, Alisson and Andy Robertson.However, that's probably due to the fact that there were some hefty bonuses included after Jurgen Klopp's side secured the Premier League title for the first time ever in the clubs history.North London rivals Arsenal and Tottenham pay the least out of the 'big six', with the Gunners slightly ahead of Tottenham as they pay £244m as opposed to the £205m that Spurs splash out.With the amount of money in football constantly rising, you can expect these figures to increase, especially with many high-profile stars likely to be on the move in the near future.

"He was a constant threat tonight, he was mobile, he was quick.
