Kane, Maguire, Rice: The 10 most valuable players who have never won a trophy

Harry Kane has received his fair share of trophy jokes over the years.

With Tottenham Hotspur not having gotten their hands on silverware since the 2008 League Cup final, the England captain has become something of a punchline for never having won a major honour.

Despite being a player of such extraordinary ability that he’s won both the Premier League and World Cup Golden Boots, that maiden team trophy has continued to evade him with Spurs.

Kane’s trophy cabinet has continued to lay empty across a decade in the Tottenham first team, suffering defeat in the 2019 Champions League final as well as the 2015 and 2021 League Cup climaxes.

And his rotten run of luck even spread to his international career last summer with Kane watching on heartbroken as England lost the Euro 2020 final to Italy on penalties.

As such, you could certainly understand why Kane was angling for a move to Manchester City – who, by contrast, seldom ever go a year without winning a major honour – before the 2021/22 season.

However, with it looking less likely than ever that Daniel Levy will allow Kane to leave Tottenham, he seems set to maintain his status as the best male player in the world who has never won a trophy.

But hold that thought for a second because Kane most certainly isn’t alone when it comes to mixing top-class ability with a distinctly quiet trophy cabinet.

In fact, with the 28-year-old having gone yet another season without breaking his duck, Transfermarkt decided to look at the 10 most valuable players who are yet to win a major honour.

While it might not come as a surprise that Kane finishes top of the pile with an eye-watering valuation of €100 million, it’s certainly interesting to see the trophy-shy players that are nipping at
