And we actually do mean most valuable Premier League players under 21 and not Premier League players like Conor Gallagher and Emile Smith Rowe who are eligible to play for England’s Under-21s but are essentially past it.
We haven’t included transfermarkt’s valuations as they tend to be on the low side but we are happy to trust their order…
10) Fabio Carvalho – 19 (Liverpool)
Recently bought for an initial fee of barely £5m but realistically worth at least treble that price, the Portugal Under-21 international has already racked up 44 appearances for Fulham which have reaped 12 goals and eight assists.
“What a talent he is, hey? A player who can bring a stadium to its feet. He puts his personality into his performances, he is confident and adventurous with the ball, and he wants to make things happen,” says Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp, who seemingly has no intention of easing Carvalho into Premier League football. And why should he?
9) Pape Matar Sarr – 19 (Tottenham)
Who? Well, you’re not alone in forgetting that Tottenham signed Senegalese midfielder Sarr from Metz last summer for the princely sum of £15m before loaning him back to the French club for a season that ultimately ended in relegation.
Sarr is finally at Tottenham this week and Antonio Conte will apparently take a look at him in training before deciding whether to keep him with the first team or – as seems more likely – send him on loan to a lowlier English club to acclimatise. At which point he might have actually settled into our consciousness.
8) Amad Diallo – 19 (Manchester United)
Forget the talk of £37m; the fee was an initial £19m and will only reach those kind of silly numbers if Amad is a success at Manchester United. At which point the numbers will no longer look silly. His time at Rangers on loan last season reaped mixed results – he eventually played 13 games and scored three goals but it took some considerable time to tease any consistency out of the Ivory Coast international. “I don’t think he reached the heights that a lot of people were expecting. I’m not going to lie I thought he’d have more of an impact, so I did feel for him,” said ex-Rangers full-back Alan Hutton.
So what next? Another loan looks very likely with both Rangers and the Championship touted as options. Right now he is running his little socks off in Manchester United training and hoping Erik ten Hag likes the cut of his jib.
7) Fabio Silva – 19 (Wolves)
