3 most valuable players right now in the Premier League | November 2018

In the world of football, forwards and midfielders are the ones most admired and expected to take the team to the next level. Apart from that, their market value is also at a higher price than the other players.

Thus the most valuable player right now playing in the premier league is at a market value of €150 million which we will reveal later on the list. Surprisingly, Paul Pogba who is one of the top players in this generation does not feature in the top of the list and makes his entry in 7th place among the players playing in the Premier League, valued at €90 million.

So ahead of the January transfer window, we have listed the top 3 most valuable players right now playing in the Premier League according to the stats from transfermarkt.

3. Kevin De Bruyne(Manchester City)- €150 million

The Belgian is one of the best footballers in the world at the moment and his playing style has often seen him described as the complete footballer. Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola quotes reveal how crucial he is to the team as he said:

"I think he is a special, outstanding player. He makes everything. Without the ball, he is the first fighter, and with the ball he is clear – he sees absolutely everything."

In the 2017-18 season, he notched up eight goals for Manchester City in his 37 appearances. The 27-year-old also played a vital role in their title-winning run which saw them clinch their third Premier League title with a Premier League record of 100 points from 38 games.

He also played a vital role in Belgium's World Cup 2018 campaign where Belgium thumped the likes of England and Brazil to reach the semi-finals of the all-important tournament and finished in the third place.

The Manchester City midfielder is now the third most valuable player in the Premier League with a value of €150 million.

2. Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur)-€150 million

The England Captain has been at his best as he led the Three Lions to fourth-place in the recently concluded World Cup. At the personal level, he scored six goals in the tournament and won the Golden Boot as the top scorer.

Kane who began his professional journey with Tottenham Hotspur in 2010, saw him climbing their rank as a world-class striker, where in just four years he won the Spurs Player of the Year in the 2014-2015 season, where he played a total of 34 games and scored 21 goals. Since then he was unstoppable for Spurs as he went on to represent them in 161 Premier League games, and scored a total of 114 goals.

The 25 years old striker could be a legend of the game if he continues to exhibit his current form and hunger for goals. Also as one of the best strikers at this moment, many big clubs will want him, and it will be interesting if he moves or still stays at Tottenham.

1.Mohamed Salah (Liverpool FC)- €150 million

Mohamed Salah is probably one of the best forwards to have played for Liverpool. Salah who arrived in Liverpool in 2017 after a splendid time with Roma was unstoppable last season, as he went on to score 32 goals in 36 games. He also led Liverpool to the UEFA Champions League Final where he scored 11 goals in 15 games.

His phenomenal 2017-2018 season with Liverpool led him to win dozens of individual accolades to his name, with recently the FIFA Puskas Award for the best goal. Thus with his current form and achievements, he will be one of the top contenders battling against Ronaldo and Messi for the Ballon d'or this year.

The Egyptian striker had a disappointing World Cup as Egypt were knocked out in the group stages. However, at a €150 million valuation, it makes him the most expensive Egyptian player in the world and the most expensive Premier League player.
