Wages in the Premier League soared 9% last season with elite footballers earning a total £1.8 billion, according to a report.

The earnings haul marks a steep increase on the £1.66 billion players earned in the 2011/12 season and wages are set to rise further as clubs absorb an extra £600 million of TV money.
