With Transfermarkt releasing their latest update, Sports Brief looks at the 10 biggest winners when it comes to market values.

Kobbie Mainoo – up €29 million

Mainoo has made 22 appearances for the senior squad and has become an integral part of Erik ten Hag’s side.

The youngster is now valued at €36 million and is the fourth most valuable teenage midfielder in the world.

Mainoo is an English nation, but holds dual citizenship thanks to his parents coming from Ghana.

As noted by GhanaWeb, the Black Stars are keeping a close eye on the youngster after he wasn’t called up for the English national team. That means he could still play for the African side if he chooses.

Phil Foden – up €20 million

The Manchester City star is proving to be one of the best attacking threats in world football at the moment, and has been a real weapon for Pep Guardiola’s side.

Foden has already banged in 18 goals this season, and notched up 10 assists in all competitions for the Citizens.

Now valued at €130 million, Foden is the sixth most valuable player in world football.

As noted by Football Insider, Foden is keen for a new contract with the side, and City could pull out all the stops to make sure he agrees.

Ivan Toney – up €15 million

Third on the list is the Brentford striker, Toney, who is now valued at €50 million.

The 27-year-old recently returned to action after serving a lengthy suspension, and has already scored four goals in nine games.

His impressive performances have seen him linked with a move to Arsenal, and also earn a callup to the English national team for the friendlies against Brazil and Belgium, GOAL noted.

Conor Bradley and Pedro Neto – up €13 million

In joint fourth are Liverpool’s Bradley and Wolverhampton Wanderers’ Neto.

Bradley has been a revelation for the Reds since deputising for Trent Alexander-Arnold.

The 20-year-old has made 22 appearances for Jurgen Klopp’s men in all competitions and has scored once and notched up six assists. He is currently valued at €15 million.

Neto, on the other hand, has seen his value shoot up to €55 million.
