After Sportsmail revealed that Callum Hudson-Odoi is set to sign a £200,000-a-week deal to make him the highest paid teenager in the world, it got us thinking as to which other teenagers make the highest-paid top 10?
Chelsea have been in advanced talks for over a month with their exciting teenage winger over a new five-year deal worth up to £200,000-per-week. A few small details have held up the two parties reaching a total agreement.
Hudson-Odoi's contract will be worth a basic of £180,000-a-week rising to £200,000-per-week with bonuses.
The 18-year-old's England team-mate Jadon Sancho would become the second highest on the overall list after Sportsmail exclusively revealed he is close to signing a £190,000-a-week deal with Borussia Dortmund.
The England forward, 19, has been rewarded with an improved long-term contract that sees his salary soar to just under £10million a year.
Last week, Sancho was rated the fifth most valuable player on the planet, at £145m, in a report by the CIES Football Observatory and his status as one of the hottest prospects in world football has now been acknowledged by Dortmund.
Sancho's previous deal, which was due to run until 2022, was worth around £75,000 per week.
His new deal catapults him to the No 2 spot in the table of teenager earners with Real Madrid striker Vinicius Jnr sat third with a reported £190,000 per week deal netting him a cool £6.85m a year.
Real Madrid are big spenders in an attempt to beat the competition and Brazilian star Rodrygo is another to profit.
The 18-year-old is reported to be taking home £76,000-a-week, running up a wage of close to £4m per year at the Bernabeu.
The first Premier League inclusion on the list comes in at No 5 with Tottenham's deadline day signing Ryan Sessengon. The highly-rated teenager was eventually poached from Championship side Fulham in a £25m deal.
He is believed to be earning around £70,000-a-week with the north London side having signed a six-year deal.
Atletico Madrid spent £114m to secure Joao Felix this summer and the diminutive Portuguese star will earn £15m over his five-year contract.
That works out that Felix, who impressed on his La Liga debut against Getafe, will earn close to £58,000-a-week at the Wanda Metropolitano.
Another 19-year-old earning a big money deal this summer was Italian striker Moise Kean after he swapped Juventus for Everton.
Kean is considered one of the finest young strikers in Europe and arrived at Goodison Park to great fanfare on a five-year deal.
The Toffees will hope Kean, who will earn in the region of £53,000-a-week, can score the goals to help them gatecrash the Premier League's Big Six this season.
Game-time is difficult for teenagers to come by at elite Premier League sides but those who can get it are handsomely rewarded.
Both Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden and Arsenal's Reiss Nelson take home £30,000 per week on their current deals with both likely to be in line for lucrative extensions if they enjoy a breakout campaign in 2019-20.
Capping off the top 10 is 'Japanese Messi' Takefusa Kubo after the 18-year-old agreed a £17,115-a-week deal with Real Madrid.
