Also why would Hegazi have a clause in his contract that makes him a highest earner? He was hardly a big signing when he came in, and was for a small fee. Don’t see any reason why he would have insisted on one, or why we would have accepted it.
Not withstanding that the tweet may be bollocks, it might be that Hegazi's deal does include an increase in salary after a certain amount of appearances and that increase will just happen to make him the highest earner, rather than he negotiated that any increase would automatically make him the highest earner regardless, which I very much doubt would have been the case.
For me, this is a complete non-story.
As an aside, didn't Lee Hughes' contract stipulate he should be the highest earner? I seem to remember stories of him (or his agent) kicking up a storm whenever somebody came in on a higher amount.
