How much money Kieran Trippier’s Wolves teammates earn as Rob Edwards truth emerges | OneFootball

Kieran Trippier will be staying at Wolves after Rob Edwards' exit, and he is likely to be a high earner at Molineux as the team look to win promotion.

Wolves are preparing for a huge season under Cesar Peixoto as they look to bounce back to the Premier League at the first attempt.

The previous campaign was embarrassing for Wanderers, with years of poor decisions under former chairman Jeff Shi, combined with a terrible transfer window, resulting in a season that saw them muster just 20 points, and they were effectively relegated by the time Rob Edwards had arrived in November.

Since then, there has been a lot of change at Molineux, with Nathan Shi, who is no relation to Jeff, taking over as chairman, and Edwards was dismissed, shortly after the club had announced the signings of Kieran Trippier and Raul Jimenez.

There was plenty of fallout from the decision to sack Edwards, with reports claiming that Trippier was very unhappy, to the extent he may look to leave the club before he had a training session with his Old Gold teammates.

However, that won’t be happening, with Peixoto having had discussions with Trippier to assure the right-back he will be a key player moving forward, and the ex-England international is set to stay.

So, the focus will be on helping Wolves win promotion, which is undoubtedly the aim for Peixoto and his players.

Of course, it won’t be easy, with West Ham and Burnley sharing similar ambitions, and there are several other Championship clubs who will fancy their chances.

Yet, Wolves will be among the biggest spenders when it comes to wages, with Trippier and Jimenez two statement signings in that sense.

The duo, who are both 35, were out of contract at Newcastle and Fulham respectively, but they will be commanding hefty salaries by Championship standards.

Whilst we must stress that these are estimates, Capology claims that Jimenez was on £100,000 a week at Craven Cottage, with Newcastle paying Trippier £120,000.

In comparison to his new teammates, the right-back's wage is believed to be higher than any other Wolves player, as Capology state that Joao Gomes is the top earner at Molineux, on £105,000 a week.

Again, these figures are only estimates, but it shows just how much players earn when they are in the Premier League.

Obviously, relegation has a massive financial consequence, and it has been said that Wolves players will have clauses in their contracts that will see their wages cut by up to 50%, which is standard practice. Even so, they will still be paying out big sums.

Of the players still at Wolves, Capology say Toti Gomes is on £85,000 a week, with Tolu Arokodare and Jean-Ricner Bellegarde on £75,000 a week, and Hwang Hee-Chan on £70,000 each week. Unsurprisingly, there are doubts about their futures, as Wolves may not feel they are contributing anywhere near such pay, even when you apply the relegation reduction.

Capology estimates that Andre is on £60,000 a week, and the Brazilian has signed a new contract following relegation, which naturally started speculation that Wolves have given him an improved deal that effectively kept his pay at a level he was used to in the Premier League.

If so, it gives an indication as to what a top earner could be on, and you would expect Trippier to be on a similar number given his pedigree in the game.

Keeping the Brazilian was a major coup for the club, and, along with Trippier and Jimenez, Wolves have had a fantastic start to the transfer window.

Not only has it shown that Nathan Shi is serious about getting the club back to the Premier League, but it is also proof that Wolves will be spending big on wages as they seek promotion.
