The reported £135k a week five-year deal makes our JT the best paid player in Premier League history.
Now what Chelsea need to do is up Frank Lampard's wages to similar levels to cement Chelsea's position of having the top four earners in the British game.
Currently at fourth place is Steven Gerrard on around £110k.
Ballack and Shvea share second place on £130k.
The BLues are in Denmark to take on Brondby in the last of the pre-season friendlies. Chelsea take on Man Utd on Sunday in the Community Shield.
Good luck JT on your wage rise.
