#3 N'Golo Kante - Chelsea (€50 million)
It comes as no surprise to find N'Golo Kante on this list. The Frenchman is without a doubt one of the finest players in his position in the Premier League at the moment. As it stands, Kante has a market value of €50 million, making him the third most valuable French player in the English top flight.
It is quite remarkable how far the defensive midfielder has come since moving to the division in the summer of 2015. He joined Leicester City from Caen in a transfer worth just €9 million, helping the Foxes claim the Premier League title in his first season in England before joining Chelsea a year later.
So far, he's made 249 appearances for the Blues across all competitions, recording 13 goals and 14 assists to his name. His current contract with the Londoners runs until the end of the next campaign.
#2 Paul Pogba - Manchester United (€55 million)
The Frenchman became the most expensive player in football history when he left Juventus to seal a return to Manchester United in the summer of 2016. His transfer cost the Red Devils a whopping €105 million. That figure has been surpassed by other transfers in recent years, though.
Meanwhile, Paul Pogba's market value has been on a decline over the last couple of seasons. Right now, he's worth just €55 million, a whopping €40 million below what Manchester United coughed out to secure his signature.
Despite the fall in his market value, the midfielder still occupies the second spot on the list of the most valuable French players in the Premier League right now. There's, however, uncertainty over his continuity at Old Trafford, with rumors linking him with a potential departure in the summer once his contract runs out.
#1 Raphael Varane - Manchester United (€65 million)
The centre-back is currently the most valuable French footballer in the Premier League, with a market value of €65 million. That's quite impressive, recalling that he had just joined Manchester United from Real Madrid in a transfer worth €40 million last summer.
Since switching to Old Trafford, Raphael Varane has made 24 appearances for the Red Devils across all competitions, recording one assist to his name. It remains to be seen how his market value will adjust in the next couple of years, especially with his injury troubles this season.
