Nottingham Forest wages: Who is the best paid player at the Tricky Trees and everything you need to know about Forest’s salary bill

 

Everton FC v Nottingham Forest FC – Premier League

How much does every Forest player earn annually and who receives the most into their account?

 

The Premier League title race has been intensifying in recent weeks, with Liverpool emerging as the front-runners. However, several other teams are making a compelling case to challenge the Reds for the crown, and one of the most intriguing contenders are Nuno Espirito Santo’s Nottingham Forest.

 

Forest have surprisingly established themselves as serious top-four contenders, with a real shot at securing a return to the Champions League next season – a competition they have won twice in their storied history.

 

It’s quite hard to fathom that a team that returned to the top flight just two seasons ago after a 24-year absence are performing as well as they are, especially considering their relatively limited spending power. Their rapid rise is a testament to the quality of their management, squad cohesion, and the resilience they’ve shown in navigating the challenges of Premier League football.

Arriving from Fiorentina ahead of the start of the current season, Serbian centre-back Nikola Milenkovic is turning out to be an excellent signing for Forest and is rightly their highest-paid defender.

Midfielders

James Ward-Prowse, who was signed on loan from West Ham United for the season, is currently the highest-paid midfielder at the club, surpassing Morgan Gibbs-White in terms of wages. This has raised some eyebrows among Forest fans, many of whom would argue that Gibbs-White, with his consistently standout performances, is more deserving of such recognition.

 

Ivory Coast international Ibrahim Sangare is the third-highest paid midfielder, with the English duo of Lewis O’Brien and Ryan Yates jointly-sharing the fourth spot.

 

South American duo of Nicolas Dominguez and Danilo are the lowest-paid midfielders at Forest.

 

Name Salary

James Ward-Prowse £5,980,000

Morgan Gibbs-White £4,160,000

Ibrahim Sangare £3,900,000

Attackers

This one’s a no-brainer as veteran striker Chris Wood, who is also the club’s top scorer this season, is the highest-paid forward along with Callum Hudson-Odoi.

 

Nigerian pair of Taiwo Awoniyi and Emmanuel Dennis come next on the list, followed by Ramon Sosa.

 

After struggling to secure a regular spot at Manchester United, Anthony Elanga has finally blossomed into a dangerous Premier League attacker. However, it’s surprising to see that, despite his growing influence on the pitch, he is one of the lowest-paid players at the club, not just in attack, but across the squad as a whole.

 

Name Salary

Chris Wood £4,160,000

Callum Hudson-Odoi £4,160,000

Taiwo Awoniyi £2,600,000

Emmanuel Dennis £2,080,000

Ramon Sosa £1,560,000

Jota Silva £1,300,000

Anthony Elanga £1,300,000

Eric da Silva Moreira £416,000
