accreditation

England - The world's top footballers are paid staggering salaries but did you ever wonder how long it would take, in terms of minutes played, them to pay of their cars?  

British car buying/selling website, Carspring, formulated an exciting survey regarding footballers and their cars.

The site  investigated the value of cars driven by some of the best players in world football and how long it take to pay off their cars based on their salaries.

The study showed how many minutes these players would have to be on the pitch and also, the correlation between the position they play and the type of car owned.

More than 250 players were analysed, with English Premier League, the Spanish La Liga and German Bundesliga players all under the spotlight. Check out the full list here!

Co-founder of Carspring, Dr. Peter Baumgart,  said: “At one end of the spectrum, Manchester City’s Jesus Navas could pay for his modest Nissan Micra in less than 11 minutes on the field.

"Despite being worth more than $15.5-million himself, Navas shows that big money doesn’t always mean big wheels. At the other end, Burnley’s extravagant George Boyd drives around in a Mercedes worth an equivalent $970 000. Just over 30 games are needed in order to pay for this luxurious car.”
