Most valuable Premier League XI based on market value

#3 Nicolas Otamendi - Central Defender €30 million (Manchester City)

Otamendi was signed by Manchester City this season

Argentine defender Nicolas Otamendi is the most valuable defender in the Premier League currently. Aged 28, Otamendi is at the peak of his career and Manchester City will be hoping that the Argentine defender puts in the solid performances he was renowned for at Valencia.

Otamendi was wanted by both Manchester United and Manchester City in the summer and the blue side of Manchester finally lured the Argentine to the Premier League by paying an initial fee of £28.5 million to Valencia.

Vincent Kompany's absence this season has seen the Argentine become the main central defender for Manchester City and after a tough start, Otamendi has started to show his class and quality for Manchester City.
