Prem star pays less than a day's wages per month for child

Wealthy footie ace dumped ex when she fell pregnant

- PHIL CARDY

A MILLIONAIRE Premier League ace who dumped his childhood sweetheart when she was pregnant is paying just £1,280a-month maintenance.

The footballer, who played in the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, earns nearly £1million a year from his club - which means the payments for his child work out at just over half of what he earns in a single day.

But he initially denied he was the dad and only started paying after a DNA test proved the baby was his.

And while his penniless ex was struggling to make ends meet, he was pictured on glamorous holidays partying with other women.
