N'Golo Kante is another Blues top earner even as he struggles with fitness issues this season

Joao Felix's transfer to Chelsea is understood to be imminent, with the striker set to seal a six-month loan deal from Atletico Madrid.

The Portuguese star hasn't impressed fully under Diego Simeone and will be hoping to revitalise himself at Stamford Bridge, and help turn the Blues' poor season around.

It has been reported that Chelsea will pay a figure of around 11-million euros to acquire his services, plus also financing his full Atletico wages.

With his impending arrival, e360hubs takes a look at where he will rank among Chelsea's earners. The Blues are one of the best-paying clubs in England, with Felix set to be fifth on the list with a weekly wage of 250,000 pounds.

Raheem Sterling's arrival in the summer from Manchester City saw him eclipse Kai Havertz as the club's best-paid player. Kalidou Koulibaly is also drawing a hefty paycheck after putting to paper a four-year deal.

N'Golo Kante, one of the club's most reliable performers, is also among the top earners. Reece James was recently added a new contract and earned a huge pay rise as well.
