Kane, Foden, Bellingham, Trent: Who is the most valuable England international?
England currently have the most valuable international team in world football.
Yes, we know, France and Brazil are both pretty stacked when it comes to world-beating talent, but it is in fact the Three Lions that take the crown.
And whilst that might surprise you, it’s worth noting that it’s not even really that close a contest.
Thanks to the exceedingly high market values of players like Harry Kane, Phil Foden, Trent Alexander-Arnold, and Raheem Sterling to name just a few, the England squad’s accumulative worth stands at £1.17 billion according to transfermarkt.
Second, come Brazil. The Selecao have a total market value of £916.65 million.
Whereas France occupy third position, with their figure of £910.80 million.
So, we know England have the most valuable squad, but what players are responsible for Southgate’s boys topping the charts?
