Tom Fellows’ wages at West Brom - Is he underpaid or overpaid? | OneFootball

The England U21 international earns this much at The Hawthorns

The 2024/25 season saw a big breakout year for West Bromwich Albion winger Tom Fellows.

The 22-year-old wideman made his debut for the England U21 national team last September and was a late call-up to the squad for their European Championship-winning side this past summer.

In the league, Fellows established himself as one of the elite playmakers in the second tier, registering a league-best 14 assists and playing in all but one of the Baggies' Championship games.

In the space of 12 months, Fellows has become one of the more exciting prospects in the second tier, and the likes of Everton and Leeds United have shown some interest in bringing him to the Premier League.

Obviously, if top-flight wages come calling, it'll be tough to see Fellows wanting to stay at West Brom, but does the 22-year-old satisfy his current wage at the Hawthorns anyway? Football League World has taken a look at his current estimated wage to find out.

How much Tom Fellows is estimated to be earning at West Bromwich Albion

According to Capology's estimates, Fellows earns just £6,000 per week on his current West Brom contract.

The 22-year-old signed his current deal midway through the 2023/24 season, with the contract now running out at the end of the 2026/27 campaign.

It's important to stress that this figure is an estimate, but with the exciting winger only making bench appearances in the Championship for the club when he put pen to paper on a new deal, £6,000 per week seems like a sensible wage for a young up-and-comer.

However, since then, Fellows blossomed into a first-team regular, making more starts as the season went on, including in both legs of their play-off semi-final defeat to Southampton. Then came the 2024/25 season, and the 22-year-old is now regarded as one of the Baggies' more important players.

West Brom's estimated wage bill sees Fellows among the lowest earners at the club, with the likes of Darnell Furlong and Jed Wallace earning more than quadruple his estimated wage. Therefore, it's hard to argue that he isn't underpaid in comparison to his output.

West Brom may look to further extend Tom Fellows' contract this season

With Fellows' current deal running out at the end of next season, it would be wise to extend his contract sooner rather than later to avoid him entering the final year of his deal, as this could lead to a cut-price, if West Brom were to sell him.

Regardless of that factor, though, a new contract surely should be in the works soon to purely reflect his newfound importance to the team since he penned his latest deal.

For the reigning assist leader to be estimated to be among the lowest earners at his club is quite shocking, and Fellows' performances on the pitch should warrant a higher wage.

West Brom have been smart in the transfer window so far, and have done well to build a solid squad for Ryan Mason to contend with, despite the need to be pragmatic in their spending.

Their top priority after transfer deadline day should be to ensure that Fellows' long-term commitments stay at the Hawthorns.
