The Premier League is one of the richest leagues in world football, with the top teams possessing some of the most valuable players on the planet. Transfer fees have risen exponentially in recent years and, as a result, a footballer’s value in the market has grown.
It is seen as the biggest league in world football and many of the most talented players playing the sport dream of playing in the division. From Erling Haaland to Cole Palmer, there are a host of young players with eye-watering valuations.
That said, below are the 11 most valuable assets in the English top flight according to the data given by Transfermarkt. A staggering five Premier League stars are said to be worth more than £100 million.
| The Premier League’s most valuable players 20-11 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Ranking | Player | Club | Value |
| 20 | Kai Havertz | Arsenal | £58m |
| 19 | Josko Gvardiol | Manchester City | £63m |
| 18 | Adam Wharton | crystal palace | £63m |
| 17 | Enzo Fernandez | Chelsea | £63m |
| 16 | Gabriel Magalhaes | Arsenal | £63m |
| 15 | Trent Alexander-Arnold | Liverpool | £63m |
| 14 | Bruno Guimaraes | Newcastle United | £67m |
| 13 | Moises Caicedo | Chelsea | £67m |
| 12 | William Saliba | Arsenal | £67m |
| 11 | Dominik Szoboszlai | Liverpool | £67m |
10 Luis Diaz
Transfer value: £71m
The first player that breaks into the top 10 is Luis Diaz. The Liverpool forward has been electric for the club during their title-winning campaign, scoring 13 times in the division as they dominated the competition. Mohamed Salah has been the player making the headlines for the Reds and it’s easy to see why, considering his incredible form, but Diaz has also been influential up top for them and his goals have proven crucial at times.
With reports suggesting that he could be on his way out of Anfield during the summer, Liverpool could be about to make some serious money from the Colombian, considering he’s valued at £71m.
9 Alexis Mac Allister
Transfer value: £75m
Despite an incredible debut season for Arne Slot at Liverpool, which has seen them lift the Premier League trophy for just the second time ever, Alexis Mac Allister is the last player from Anfield to feature in the top 20 and is the most valuable player in the Reds squad at £75m. The Argentine has been superb in the middle of the park for Liverpool throughout the campaign.
His move from Brighton & Hove Albion in 2023 has been an undeniable success and at just 26 years old, there’s no telling how much better he could become during his time on Merseyside.
8 Alexander Isak
Transfer value: £84m
An incredible season from Alexander Isak, the best of any Newcastle United striker since Alan Shearer, has seen the Swede become one of the 10 most valuable players in the Premier League. He’s been pivotal to the Magpies’ fortunes this campaign, including winning their first trophy in decades. His exploits in front of goal have seen Isak score 23 goals in the league alone and many top teams have taken an interest.
Reports have suggested Isak could be on the radar of both Liverpool and Arsenal this summer, but with a transfer value of £84m, he won’t be available for cheap.
7 Martin Odegaard
Transfer value: £84 million
Martin Odegaard has matured enormously in front of fans’ eyes in recent years. The Norwegian wizard has become known for his tireless work rate as well as his intricate passing ability. Odegaard can see things on the pitch that those in the stands even struggle to spot.
To be the club captain of Arsenal at 26 years old is a remarkable achievement and shows the level of respect he has among the extremely talented group. Odegaard’s rise to prominence has been wonderful, and he is now among the most valuable assets in the biggest league in world football. From wonderkid to world-class talent, his journey has been immense.
6 Declan Rice
Transfer value: £92 million
Declan Rice was signed for £105 million in the 2023 summer transfer window and while his value is slightly lower than that eye-watering figure, the former West Ham midfielder is still rated at over £100 million. He elevated the Gunners to close the gap on Man City, although he wasn’t able to add to his European glory from the previous year.
Not only has he put in monstrous displays at the Emirates as a defensive midfielder, but he has also transformed into a wonderfully elegant box-to-box player during his time with the club. Rice is one of the best players in the world in his position, with his all-action performances catching the eye of many supporters.

5 Phil Foden
Transfer value: £109 million
Another player with many years ahead of him at the elite level, Phil Foden, was second on this list after being named the Premier League Player of the Season, but his difficult 2024/25 campaign has seen him drop to fifth now. His value of £109 million is less than it would likely take for Man City to be tempted to part ways with their English playmaker.
Foden registered 39 goal contributions for his club in all competitions during the 2023/24 season. He emerged as one of the most important men in a star-studded Man City team that made history by becoming the first-ever side to win four successive Premier League titles. His 2024/25 campaign wasn’t as fruitful, with just 16 goal contributions to his name.
4 Rodri
Transfer value: £109 million
Manchester City’s lynchpin Rodri is a sensational defensive-minded midfielder. His work out of possession is incredibly intelligent as the Spaniard always finds himself in the right place at the right time. The 28-year-old has been heralded as one of the most technically gifted players in the engine room as he dictates the tempo of games consistently.
Rodri added attacking output to his game during the 2023/24 season as he scored nine goals and registered 14 assists. His knack for popping up with a vital goal is worth a large chunk of his valuation alone. His injury at the start of the 2024/25 campaign only further highlighted how valuable he is to City, as the club struggled in his absence.

3 Cole Palmer
Transfer value: £109 million
Cole Palmer was perhaps the breakout superstar of the 2023/24 Premier League season as he cemented himself as the first name on the teamsheet at Chelsea. His move from Manchester City was completed for far less than his current £109 million valuation, but his meteoric rise to become one of the most exciting talents in the division has seen a sharp increase in his market value.
The England international registered 33 goal contributions in just 34 league appearances during his first season at Stamford Bridge as he was a rare bright spark in Chelsea’s otherwise disappointing campaign. Proving he wasn’t just a one-season wonder, he returned in a similar vein of form this time around and became the first player in Premier League history to net four goals in the first half of a football game as Chelsea ran riot against Brighton & Hove Albion.

2 Bukayo Saka
Transfer value: £126 million
Bukayo Saka is one of the best wingers on the planet in 2025 as his status in the Premier League continues to grow. The Englishman has become Arsenal’s most valuable attacking player over the past two years with his electric displays.
If Mikel Arteta’s young Gunners are to win major silverware in the coming years, there’s no doubt Saka will be at the forefront of that success. The north London outfit fell just short of breaking their 20-year duck in the league, but the 23-year-old still put in an impressive showing on a personal front as he netted 20 times in all competitions last season and he’s been at his creative best this time around too. An injury in the middle of the campaign showed how important he was to the Gunners too.
1 Erling Haaland
Transfer value: £168 million
The most valuable asset in the Premier League is, unsurprisingly, Erling Haaland. The Manchester City marksman has enjoyed about as good a start to life in England as possible, picking up back-to-back Golden Boot awards during his first two Premier League campaigns and while he’s not been as prolific this time around, he’s still scored 21 goals in the top flight.
Despite having only been in England for just under three years, Haaland has already scored 120 goals for the reigning champions. At just 24 years old, the Norwegian goalscorer is expected to be one of the best players in the world for the next decade, at least. He’s not just the most valuable player in the Premier League, but he’s also worth more than any other footballer in the world right now.
