Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku is set to be fined a staggering £325,000 following his controversial interview to Sky Italia and while the star has since apologised, Thomas Tuchel confirmed that they would still fine the 28-year-old.
While the amount handed out to the Belgian is massive, we take a look at five of the biggest fines handed out to players in the Premier League.
1. Harry Kane - £400,000
A surprise name in Harry Kane tops the list, considering that he is known for his professionalism and excellence on the field. However, the striker was reported to fined two weeks wages after refusing to return to training with Tottenham Hotspur at the beginning of the season.
This remains the heaviest fine handed out to a player in the Premier League.
2. Romelu Lukaku - £325,000
The most recent entrant on the list is Romelu Lukaku who is set to be fined £325,000 after giving a controversial interview to Sky Italia, where he expressed unhappiness at life at Chelsea.

3. John Terry - £220,000
John Terry was asked to shell out £220,000 by the FA despite being cleared by the court of racially abusing Queens Park Rangers defender, Anton Ferdinand.
The amount was the highest fine handed to player in England at the time.
4. Alan Pardew - £160,000
The only manager on the list, Alan Pardew had headbutted Hull City's, David Meyler while in charge of Newcastle United - after the player had pushed him out of the way at the touchline.
The manager was fined £100,000 by his club, with the FA adding another £60,000 to his fine, while also banning him from the touchline for seven games.
5. Roy Keane - £150,000
Roy Keane was known for his tenacity on the pitch and he found himself in trouble of it when he revealed in his autobiography that he had purposely injured Alf-Inge Haaland in an act of revenge during a Manchester derby in 2001.
The FA took immediate action, fining him £150,000 and handing him a five-match ban.
