23-year-old Lyle Foster recently signed a one-year contract extension with the Clarets. It’s been reported he was earning 20,000 a week which equates to just under R2 million a month. You do the maths! He’s certainly one of the best-paid South African footballers on the planet, if not THE best. An annual salary of R24 million is nothing to scoff at, and Foster has certainly earned his new contract with some stellar displays. In what’s been a baptism of fire back in the top flight for Burnley, Foster has been a shining light with three goals and two assists in seven appearances.
