Chelsea Top Manchester City and United with Highest Premier League Player Wages

Chelsea have overtaken their rivals with the biggest wage bill in the Premier League last season as the Stamford Bridge club grabbed the title, annual figures have revealed.

The 2014-15 salary figures—as made available by Companies House reports—show the Blues surpassed both Manchester City and Manchester United in terms of wages, spending a breathtaking £215.6 million, as quoted by Martyn Ziegler of the Press Association (via MailOnline.)

The total represented a £25 million increase on the previous year, but it was money well spent as the west London club captured the English league.
