#3 Takefusa Kubo (Japan) - €20 million
Touted as one of the most exciting young Asian wingers in the game, Takefusa Kubo honed his skills at Barcelona's famed La Masia academy before joining Real Madrid in the summer of 2019.
He was immediately loaned to Mallorca that season, with the player enjoying a fairly successful stint and scoring four goals.
The Japanese teenager was then sent to another La Liga club - Villarreal - before his loan stint was cut short. However, instead of making his much-awaited debut for the Merengues, Kubo was once again sent out on loan - this time to Getafe - for the rest of the season.
#2 Sardar Azmoun (Iran) - €23 million
Sardar Azmoun is one of the most exciting talents to have emerged from Iran in recent times.
After making his professional debut for Rubin Kazan almost a decade ago, the 26-year-old centre-forward has had an extensive stint in the Russian Premier League, turning out for three different clubs.
Currently plying his trade for Zenit St. Petersburg, Azmoun has scored 44 goals in all competitions across three seasons for the club.
#1 Son Heung-min (South Korea) - €90 million
Son Heung-min has been a player reborn under Tottenham Hotspur head coach Jose Mourinho this season.
Forging a lethal partnership with Harry Kane up front, the 28-year-old South Korean international is on course for his most prolific season in club football and has already scored 16 goals in all competitions.
Such has been the rise in stature of the former Bayer Leverkusen player in recent times that Son Heung-min is currently more valuable than a certain Lionel Messi (€80 million).
