£40,000 per week wages for a 17 year old!! 22:13 - Nov 23 with 3443 viewsnorth_stand77

Went to a function today where Ray Clemence was a guest speaker. During Q&A, he was asked his thoughts on today's footballer wages. He said he had no problem with top footballers earning high amounts due to tv money etc, but he was baffled by a 17 yrs old signed to a prem team on £40,000 a week and never even played for them!

He apparently now plays in the Championship - Wonder who it is?

Think that sort of scenario could apply to a few players, but expect the story in question is a slightly exaggerated Josh McEachran, at a guess

Could be him.
In contrast, Clemence said that when he was signed by Scunthorpe he earned £9 per week. During the summer months he worked as a deck chair attendent and was on the beach when he was told that he had been signed by Liverpool for £30,000.
Different times.

Oh yeah! Stupid answer that was.

As you and others have said, Josh McEachran seems the most likely one.

McEacheran played for Chelsea though. He did turn down a move to Real Madrid.

Lewis Baker at Boro would be my guess

I assumed there was a slight bit of artistic licence taken re the age, amount and never having played - in which case McEachran would fit, it was quite widely reported the deal he signed a few years back as he was coming through

Lewis Baker as suggested elsewhere is a possible shout, although he’s still on Chelsea’s books. Think all the others mentioned are way off the profile
