#3. Reece James: +€10M
Chelsea's Reece James joins the list as one of the Premier League's best right-backs this season. James has shown defensive solidity, but his offensive contributions for Chelsea have been the standout feature of his season so far.
Trending
James has accumulated close to 1500 minutes across 21 appearances in all competitions this term. He has been a solid performer in the attacking department, where he has scored five goals and helped set up seven.
His valuation has now increased to €55 million from €45 million back in October.
#2. Emile Smith Rowe: +€10M
Emile Smith Rowe has been carrying Arsenal's flag and helping it fly high in what has been a mixed campaign so far. Arsenal's offensive unit has often been poor this season, especially with main striker Pierre Emerick Aubameyang having a poor run of form.
Under such circumstances, Smith Rowe has been performing consistently in the Premier League. The English midfielder has a great range of passing, and is adept at creating and scoring chances himself.
In the current campaign, Smith Rowe has already made 19 appearances and accumulated more than 1350 minutes across all competitions. He has scored eight goals and provided two assists in the process.
His valuation has witnessed a steady rise, and it looks set to end the year at €38 million from a previous value of €28 million in October
#1. Diogo Jota: +€15M
There will always be lingering doubts when a club with the likes of Roberto Firmino, Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane invested heavily in another attacker. Questions were raised about how much game time Diogo Jota would get, and whether his performances at Wolves were good enough to justify a transfer fee of €44.70 million. A season and a half later, Jota has proved to be a stellar signing for Jurgen Klopp and his club.
Jota has been one of the best performers in the Premier League this season. He has provided a valuable attacking alternative when opposition teams sought to control Sadio Mane and Mohamed Salah.
The Portuguese forward has made 22 appearances in all competitions, managing an incredible 14 goal involvement along the way. His 12 goals have helped keep Liverpool in contention for their next Premier League title, and his valuation has now increased to €60 million from €45 million back in June.
