10 most valuable players in the world - June 2021

#3 Harry Kane (Tottenham Hotspur) - €120 million

Harry Kane

Harry Kane is an ambitious player, so his decision to leave Tottenham Hotspur this summer is not difficult to understand.

Kane enjoyed one of his best seasons in 2019-20, but Tottenham Hotspur only managed to finish seventh in the league. It is difficult to imagine where Spurs would have finished it if not for Kane's exploits.

Only two players have finished a Premier League season with the outright most goals and most assists:◉ Andy Cole (1993/94)◉ Harry Kane (2020/21)Neither won PFA Players' Player of the Year... but Cole did get YPOTY. #PFAawards pic.twitter.com/AcWwUrUbx8

Manchester City, Manchester United and Chelsea are all said to interested in signing the England international, although the 27-year old will certainly not come cheap.

#1 Kylian Mbappe (Paris Saint-Germain) - €160 million

Kylian Mbappe

Kylian Mbappe has enjoyed a phenomenal rise, so much so that he is considered to be the heir apparent of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

The 22-year old has a decorated resume; he's won the FIFA World Cup with France and multiple Ligue 1 titles. A pacy forward with strong technical ability and good creative skills, Mbappe is seen as Paris Saint-Germain and France's present and future.

The former AS Monaco man has been linked with Real Madrid for a while. This season, Mbappe made 27 Ligue 1 starts, scoring 27 goals and providing seven assists. Considering that he is already one of the best in the world at his position, it is frightening to think of Mbappe's ceiling.
