Top 10 English Premier League earners after January transfer window

Here are the top ten earners in English Premier League after the January transfer window.

Notable omissions include Arsenal's new arrivals Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang and Henrikh Mkhitaryan, along with Liverpool's £75m signing Virgil van Dijk, who are all on £180,000 a week.
