Jon Walters is hoping for a pay rise after discovering he’s outscoring Raheem Sterling

Never mind £120,000 a week, he's worth double it

He’s barely been on Twitter a wet week, but Jonathan Walters is starting to get the hang of it.

The Stoke and Irish striker was revealed this morning as the Premier League’s most economical finisher, scoring with almost 39 percent of his shots.

With seven goals in the league, he’s also one ahead of Liverpool’s Raheem Sterling who has been making headlines for all the wrong reasons after he rejected a new contract worth around £100,000 a week.

Thinking like a true opportunist, Walters tweeted this brilliant picture of him marching into manager Mark Hughes’ office, “demanding” (not quite) a new deal for £120,000 a week.

We’d love if this actually happened, simply to see the reaction on Mark Hughes’ face.

Actually, we see that look every Saturday…
