Phil Foden: Manchester City midfielder Europe's most valuable player, says CIES Football Observatory

English trio Phil Foden, Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood are the most valuable players in Europe's top-five leagues, according to research group CIES Football Observatory.

Manchester City's Foden tops the list at 190.2m euros (£163.4m), ahead of Manchester United duo Greenwood (£152.8m) and Rashford (£136.6m).

United playmaker Bruno Fernandes (£132.4m) is fifth on the list.

Chelsea's Mason Mount, 22, is the 10th highest-priced player at £106.1m.

The CIES use a range of variables including a player's age, performances, economic value of their club and inflation to work out estimated transfer values.

Foden, 21, shone during City's triumphant Premier League campaign, his performances earning him the PFA Young Player of the Year award.
