#1 Kevin De Bruyne (150 Million Euros)
Bought from Wolfsburg in 2015 for £ 55 million euros, many eyebrows were raised when Manchester City decided to splash out on a Premier League reject. Those doubts have been answered emphatically as De Bruyne has kicked on and become the best attacking midfielder in the world. How Chelsea must be cursing their luck!
In fact, he has been tipped by many to win the Ballon d'Or in the near future and was unlucky to have missed out on the Premier League player of the year to the sensational Mo Salah. Kevin De Bruyne played an instrumental part in helping Manchester City to win the EPL with record points and goals scored.
De Bruyne scored 8 goals while laying on 16 more for his teammates and creating a record 104 chances in the Premier League. Comfortable with either foot, De Bruyne can whip in balls with pinpoint accuracy. No player was as dangerous as him in taking set pieces last season.
Not only this, but De Bruyne also played a crucial role in helping his nation Belgium finish 3rd at the World cup. All these stats together with being relatively young makes him the most valuable attacking midfielder in the world right now.
