#3 Dele Alli (Jan 2016: €35 million, Now: €77 million)
Increase in value: €42 million
“We got Alli, Dele Alli, I just don’t think you understand, he cost us 5 mil, he is better than Ozil, We got Dele Alli"
Tottenham fans love belting this song out and when a player whom you bought for just 5 million is now one of the highest valued players in the world, you know that he has had a meteoric rise in market value.
The English midfielder had given us a glimpse of his immense talent by January 2016, but this season, he really showed that he belonged to the bracket of best midfielders in world football at the moment.
Playing further up forward than usual, the English international formed a potent attacking threat with Harry Kane and was at the forefront of Tottenham’s impressive 2016/17 Premier League campaign. The best U-23 midfielder in world football at the moment, Tottenham will have a tough time keeping hold of their prized asset in the summer transfer window.
