Chelsea have emerged as the club with the biggest wage bill for this season.
The Blues have endured a miserable season in which they will finish in the bottom half of the Premier League table.
But their wage bill is estimated to have cost £215.6million, which is almost one-eighth of the entire division's spend of £1.9billion.
Manchester United, who managed to get Cristiano Ronaldo's £380,000-per-week salary off the books in January, are in second place, as compiled by the sport investment fund Alliance, with a total spend of £213.3m.
Champions Manchester City are third with an outlay of £186.2m.
Liverpool (£164.6m), Arsenal (£110.4m) and Tottenham Hotspur (£110.2m) make up the top six..
