Half of the top 10 most valuable young footballers in the world are either English or playing in the Premier League.
The new figures from the CIES Football Observatory underline the current dominance of the English game and the success of the player development pathways at the top clubs.
The analysis estimates the January transfer value for 60 players who are under the age of 23 in the five major European Leagues, which are the richest in the world. The Premier League boasts the largest share of the list with 17 young stars overall.
