Manchester United’s Marcus Rashford leads the way, but two City players also make the list, with Youri Tielemans now said to be worth double what Leicester paid for him

 

Two Leicester City stars have been ranked among Europe’s 100 most valuable players.

Youri Tielemans and Harvey Barnes feature alongside top players from the continent’s biggest clubs in the latest list released by Swiss statisticians at CIES Football Observatory, whose algorithm takes performance quality, age, contract length, international experience, nationality, and more into consideration.

Tielemans is the most valuable player at City, according to CIES, the Belgian midfielder ranking 58th on the list at £64m, one place behind compatriot Kevin De Bruyne and at a price that is double the £32m he cost Leicester when he arrived from Monaco in 2019.Disaster for Chelsea: Ben Chilwell set for scan on hamstring injury as  Mauricio Pochettino faces having 11 players unavailable vs Fulham |  Goal.com Nigeria
