10. Fernando Torres (25), Liverpool; £110,000 per-week: Rewarded for outstanding form with new contract in May 2009 which will keep him at Anfield until 2013 - still had four seasons left on a £70,000-a-week deal
No 9. Michael Ballack (32), Chelsea; £120,000: Extended contract for one-year until June 2010. Joined club from Bayern Munich in 2006, but career has been overshadowed by injury, despite scoring regular goals
No 8. Gareth Barry (28), Manchester City; £120,000: Aston Villa accepted £12 million for club captain in June 2009 after 12 years at Villa Park. Barry doubled his salary, saying that City’s “ambition” won him over
No 7. Kolo Touré (28), Manchester City; £120,000: £15m bid accepted by Arsenal in July 2009 for Ivorian defender. Doubled his earnings in the process, ending a nine-month pursuit by manager Mark Hughes
No 6. Steven Gerrard (29), Liverpool; £140,000: Signed four-year deal in July 2009, saying he planned to retire at the end of it, when he will be 33. At the centre of long-running transfer saga in 2005 with Chelsea
No 5. Emmanuel Adebayor (25), Manchester City; £140,000: Striker signed five-year deal at Eastlands after £25m move from Arsenal in July 2009. “I was born to play football and that is what I want to do,” he said
No 4. Carlos Tevez (25), Manchester City; £140,000: Completed move across Manchester from Old Trafford in July 2009 in five-year contract, becoming first player since Terry Cooke in 1999 to move between rivals
No 3. Frank Lampard (31), Chelsea; £150,000: Midfielder signed five-year deal in 2008 to at club after being tempted by AC Milan. Joined from West Ham United in 2001 and racked up 400th appearance in 2009
No 2. John Terry (28), Chelsea; £151,000: Chelsea captain sparked frenzied summer of bidding from Manchester City in summer 2009, reportedly offering Terry £250,000 a week. Committed in July 2009
No 1. Robinho (25), Manchester City; £160,000: Brazilian moved from Real Madrid in 2008 for £32.5m on final day of summer transfer window. Finished top-scorer for City in 2008/09 season with 14 goals
