Every Stoke City striker’s estimated weekly wage – Sam Gallagher on £25k-a-week
Stoke City’s strikers will be hoping for a new lease of life under newly appointed boss Narcis Pelach this season.
Numerous Potters frontmen have had a tough time of it since they dropped into the Championship, with multiple big-money signings and experienced heads unable to convert their goal-scoring form from elsewhere to the Potteries.
Stoke were the sixth-lowest scorers in the Championship last season, and one of their highest-scoring centre-forwards in the league, Ryan Mmaee, left to join Rapid Vienna on loan in the summer, so there needs to be an improvement within their new-look frontline this term.
The Potters have four senior strikers in their squad as it stands, and with the help of Capology, we are taking a look at how much each striker is estimated to earn at the club per week.
It must be taken into consideration that the data provided by Capology are estimations and not official figures.
Powerful striker Sam Gallagher joined Stoke from Blackburn Rovers in a move worth £1.5 million in July, and signed a deal that sees him earn an estimated £25,000 per week with the Potters, according to Capology.
His estimated weekly wage will see him earn £1.3m in a year while with Stoke, and a total of £3.9m across his three-year contract, provided he sees that out.
Capology states that the 28-year-old earned £14,400 a week while with Rovers, so he will be pleased if his wages have increased as much as their estimates suggest, but not as much at how his Stoke career has panned out so far.
Gallagher has not appeared in a competitive game for the Potters since his move, after picking up an injury in a pre-season friendly last month, so will hope to return to action soon under his new boss.
