Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid are other clubs with multiple players in the top 10, while Arsenal have a teenager worth over £152m in their ranks.
Arsenal boast two of the seven most valuable teenagers in world football, Ethan Nwaneri and Miles Lewis-Skelly, according to recent statistical models.
Other clubs with multiple players in the top 10 include Barcelona, Chelsea and Real Madrid. The Blues have Estevao and Giovanny Quenda, with the latter agreeing to a deal last summer.
Lamine Yamal topped the list with a staggering £300m-plus, while Estevao came in second with just over £100m. Yamal’s teammate Pau Kvarsi is second on £99m, while Madrid’s Franco Mastantuono is fourth on £90m.
Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Warren Zaire-Emery comes in sixth place for £81 million, just ahead of two Arsenal academy products. Nwaneri is top-ranked at £77m, £2m more than team-mate Lewis Skelly. This means the pair are worth a whopping £152m to Arsenal.

Max Dowman is not on the list of 113 teenagers who are already worth an estimated value of at least £8.8m. However, those under 17 are not included, with Liverpool winger Rio Ngmoha listed as the youngest.
Dauman won’t turn 16 until New Year’s Eve. As for the starring pair, Lewis-Skelly will remain 19 until September next year, while Nwaneri will still be a teenager until March 2027.
Together they have made 99 appearances for the first team. However, that total will not reach the century mark until after the international break, as neither player featured as a substitute in Saturday night’s 2-2 draw with Sunderland.
This figure is based on the International Sports Research Center’s Football Observatory and its statistical models. The study, published in the International Journal of Financial Studies, revealed it was based on a sample of 8,389 full transfers involving 6,347 players between July 2014 and March 2024.
Bournemouth, Brighton, Hove Albion, Chelsea and Tottenham Hotspur are the only Premier League clubs with more players on the list than Arsenal. Marc Giu, Jorel Hato and Josh Achiampong join Estevao and Quenda on Chelsea’s list.
Meanwhile, Spurs have Archie Gray, Lukas Bergvall and Mikey Moore, with the latter on loan at Rangers. Brighton have Charalampos Kostoulas, Malik Yalcin and Stefanos Tzimas, while Cherries have Ben Gannon-Doak, Eli Junior Crupi and Veljko Milosavljevic.
However, Arsenal are the only English club to have more than one academy graduate on their list, with both Nwaneri and Lewis Skelly given first-team opportunities by Arteta. Of the players mentioned, Achiampong and Moore are the only ones from the club’s academy.
Mikel Arteta said in the summer that the club wants to “take as much talent as possible from the academy and develop it into the first team.” He explained: “The way they adapted at that age, I couldn’t have done it, but I think this generation is faster.
“They’ll be ready a little earlier. We don’t have to rush. Let’s make sure we manage the right procedures and have the right expectations for all of them, and then we’ll see what they request.”
