10 most valuable footballers in the world

#9 Dele Alli - £90 million

Tottenham Hotspur v Manchester United - Premier League

Dele Alli is a prized asset of Tottenham Hotspur for many different reasons. He is not only a creative player who can find crucial breakthroughs for his team but can also bring out the best in his teammates.

Harry Kane is a great example of how Alli influences the players around him. The prolific goal scorer's success has not come entirely due to his individual brilliance but can partly be attributed to Spurs' imaginative midfield, which Dele Alli is the kingpin of.

In the World Cup 2018, the 22-year-old helped his team reach the semi-finals of the tournament.

"Sport has the power to change the world…it has the power to inspire. It has the power to unite people in a way that little else does. It speaks to youth in a language they understand. Sport can create hope where once there was only despair. It is more powerful than government in breaking down racial barriers."
