2) Dele Alli (Tottenham Hotspur) – €155.1m
After a scintillating season with the Spurs, it comes as no surprise that Dele Alli is on this list and among the top three players. Having clocked over 3,000 minutes in the league alone, the English midfielder scored 18 goals and grabbed 7 assists – enough to win the PFA Young Player of the Year award outright.
Alli’s eye for a pass and his strong finishing has given England hope that they can still produce players of top quality. The fact that a 21-year-old bossed the Premier League in midfield suggests that he has a great future in store as he develops into a world class player.
It’s also a testament to Spurs’ scouting network who signed him for just £5m in the 2015 January transfer window. With a contract until 2022, clubs will not even think about approaching Spurs to sign Alli – at least until he himself decides it is time to look for greener pastures if he does not share the same ambitions as his club.
