Ranking the 7 most valuable forwards in the world right now - August 2021

#4 Jadon Sancho (Manchester United) - €100 million

Jadon Sancho will ply his trade for Manchester United in the upcoming 2021-22 season

Known for his creativity and impact in attack, Jadon Sancho recently completed a move to Premier League giants Manchester United. The 21-year-old's performances for Borussia Dortmund in the last four seasons have made him one of the most in-demand footballers in the world.

The Red Devils reportedly paid €85 million to bring him back to England and he could be one of the best signings in the Premier League this season. Manchester United finished second last season and the addition of Jadon Sancho might just give them that extra edge they require.

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

Harry Kane could still switch clubs in the ongoing summer transfer window

Widely regarded as one of the best strikers in the world at the moment, Harry Kane would be an incredible addition to any top side in Europe. Last season, Kane took the Premier League by storm. He finished the season with the most goals, as well as the most assists in the Premier League, becoming only the 3rd ever player in the history of the league to do so.

Harry Kane's departure from Tottenham Hotspur seems inevitable and may also be imminent. There's little doubt that he will cost close to €150 million, but his abilities - coupled with the fact that he's only 28 - could prove that fee to be worth every penny.

#2 Erling Haaland (Borussia Dortmund) - €130 million

Erling Haaland is currently one of the most prolific strikers in the world

Potentially the next big thing in the world of football, Erling Haaland's meteoric rise to prominence hasn't been unwarranted. The 21-year-old is already one of the most devastating forwards in the world, having scored 62 goals in just 61 matches across competitions for Borussia Dortmund.

It only seems like a matter of time before he leaves the Bundesliga side and moves to a bigger European team capable of winning the UEFA Champions League. When that time comes, expect clubs to break the bank to try and sign him.

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

Just how good is Kylian Mbappe?

Kylian Mbappe is the other half (alongside Haaland) of what is being touted as the next biggest rivalry in football. Currently in his fourth season at Paris Saint-Germain, Mbappe is already the club's third-highest goal-scorer of all time. Mbappe has also finished as Ligue 1's top scorer for the last three seasons consecutively.

At just 22 years of age, Mbappe has already won 12 major titles for club and country, including 4 Ligue 1 titles (3 with PSG and 1 with AS Monaco) as well as the 2018 FIFA World Cup with France.

He is now part of one of the deadliest squads in the world at PSG, which could offer him the best chance to lay his hands on the UEFA Champions League this season. His current market value of €160 million will only increase as he gets better and better, going forward.
