West Ham goalkeeper Alphonse Areola wants to be the club’s highest-paid player.
Areola is currently on loan from PSG, but his wages are higher than any other West Ham player.
According to Ex WHU Employee on the West Ham Way podcast, the club don’t want to pay the reported £125k a week that he is currently on.

A club like West Ham are unlikely to pay this sort of money for someone to sit on the bench, so unless they play on making him the number one, a deal is going to be difficult.
I think that they should pay it and play him regularly. I heard a rumour that we could land him for £13 mill and that’s a steal. I love fabianski but he’s coming close to the end of his career.
