Undoubtedly the most complete striker in the Premier League, Harry Kane's remarkable consistency in front of goal and his ability to link up play has seen his market value stay steady at a remarkable €120 million.

The 27-year-old England international has evolved his game in the last few months with the striker dropping deep and linking play excellently with his Tottenham teammates.

Kane's patience with Tottenham Hotspur will be running out and it will be interesting to see what the striker does if he gets a serious transfer offer in the summer window.

With the Euros coming up, Harry Kane could well and truly establish himself as one of the game's great modern day strikers.


#2 Neymar Jr. (Paris Saint-Germain) - €128 million

The world's most expensive player, Neymar.Jr, is number 2 on this list with a market value of €128 million. The Paris Saint-Germain star has suffered a few injuries this season, but when he has played, he has shown why he is so highly regarded.

Having made a long awaited injury comeback in the Ligue 1 game against Lyon a few days back, Neymar will be determined to make up for lost time and guide PSG to a long awaited Champions League title.

With a blockbuster encounter against Bayern Munich coming up, Neymar will be itching to show the world why he is worth the big bucks.

Was there any doubt as to who would head this list? Kylian Mbappe, at just the age of 22, has already won a World Cup and all the domestic trophies France has to offer. With only the UEFA Champions League trophy eluding the pacy Frenchman, PSG and Mbappe will be hoping that their goal of winning Europe's premier club competition will be fulfilled this season.

Capable of destroying opposition defenses almost singlehandedly with his pace and clinical finishing, Mbappe has been heavily linked with an exit in the last few weeks. Real Madrid and, surprisingly, Liverpool have been credited with an interest in the 22-year-old superstar.

The world is at Kylian Mbappe's feet and the French superstar will be looking to make the most of his immense potential.


Note:Lionel Messi's (33-years-old) market value is €80 million, while Cristiano Ronaldo's (36-years-old) market value is €50 million (10 million lesser than February)
