Brighton are having a difficult time in the Premier League this term.

After exceeding expectations last term the Seagulls find themselves sitting perilously close to the relegation zone, meaning that they have work to do to preserve their top flight status.

One perk of life in the fast lane is the money that's available to spend on transfer fees and player wages.

But who are Brighton's top 10 highest-earners? We took to Salary Sport to found out.

The Manchester United striker only arrived last summer and already makes the top 10.

Welbeck is taking home £37,000 a week with the Seagulls which equates to £1.924,000 a year - a significant sum but far less than he was likely on at Manchester United and Arsenal.

The central defender made the move to Brighton in 2019 and is now a regular.

As a result the 26-year-old earns £38,ooo a week and £1,976,000 every year as part of his deal on the south coast.

The Belgian international is regarded as one of Brighton's key players as he dictates play in the middle of the park.

That influence is why he takes home £40,000 a week and £2,080,000 a year.

The Romanian striker is currently on the sidelines with a serious injury but could return soon.

Given that he's earning £44,000 a week and £2,288,000 every year the club will be hoping to see him back in the team before long.

The Colombian has seemingly fallen out of favour on the south coast but is still taking home a decent wage packet.

£48,000 a week equates to £2,496,000 - a significant amount for a player who rarely features.

The midfielder is a key player for Graham Potter and that's reflected in his pay slip.

£52,000 a week equals £2,704,000 every year but given his importance to the team there's likely to be many arguments.

The Iranian winger is the fourth highest-earning player in the squad.

Earning £2,756,000 a year and £53,000 a week the 27-year-old is certainly earning a generous amount.

The Dutch midfielder has only featured a handful of times this season for Brighton.

Despite that Propper is earning £55,000 a week and £2,860,000 a year making him the third highest-earner at the club.

The skipper comes second on the list of highest-earners.

Dunk earns £60,000 a week and £3,120,000 - a sum that is justified given his influence on the team.

The highest earner at Brighton.

The former Liverpool man earns £63,000 a week and £3,276,000 a year.
