Two England Stars Among World’s Most Valuable<\/h1>\n

Manchester City – Raheem Sterling<\/h2>\n

England winger Raheem Sterling won the PFA Young Player of the Year award<\/a> last season. It’s another amazing achievement for the 24-year-old. The former Liverpool<\/a> man has already achieved so much in the game, which includes over 225 club appearances.<\/p>\n

He made 95 appearances for the Reds in a three-year spell, scoring 18, but his game has vastly improved under Pep Guardiola<\/a> at Manchester City. His arrival at the Etihad has seen Sterling score 45 times from 131 appearances, including 17 in the league last season.<\/p>\n

Sterling has won back to back Premier League titles (2017\/18 and 2018\/19), the EFL Cup twice (2015\/16 and 2018\/19) and the FA Cup in 2019. This completed the domestic treble<\/a> for the Citizens.<\/p>\n

The Jamaica-born winger was also named Liverpool Young Player of the Year twice (2013\/14 and 2014\/15), Football Writers Association Footballer of the Year and PFA Team of the Year in 2019.<\/p>\n

Sterling also made 19 international youth appearances, and has featured 51 times for the senior side, scoring eight goals.<\/p>\n

Borussia Dortmund – Jadon Sancho<\/h2>\n

19-year-old winger Jadon Sancho has had a tremendous season for Dortmund as they came second in the Bundesliga.<\/a><\/p>\n

The winger contributed 17 assists and 12 goals in 34 league appearances for the club, in addition to six senior England caps.<\/p>\n

Sancho, who joined Dortmund in 2017 from Manchester City, has made 46 appearances for the German side. The winger has already achieved some personal accolades.<\/p>\n

He was the Golden Player at the UEFA European U17 Championships and featured in the team of the tournament.<\/p>\n

Last season, he featured in the Bundesliga Team of the Season, in addition to the VDV Team of the Season.<\/p>\n

In his 34 junior England appearances, Sancho was also part of the side that won the FIFA Under 17 World Cup in 2017.<\/p>\n

England in the Top 20<\/h2>\n

Kylian Mbapp\u00e9<\/a> comes in at number one (\u20ac252 million), with Mohamed Salah<\/a> behind in second (\u20ac219.6 millionm). Sterling is third, whilst 31-year-old five-time Ballon d’Or winner, Lionel Messi<\/a> is in at fourth (\u20ac167.4 million). Sancho comes in just behind at fifth.<\/p>\n

A further three English players feature in the top 20. Tottenham Hotspur<\/a> striker\u00a0Harry Kane<\/a>\u00a0comes in at number seven with an estimated value of \u20ac155.2 million. 20-year-old Liverpool defender\u00a0Trent Alexander-Arnold\u00a0<\/a>is in at 13 valued at \u20ac130.2 million.

Sadio Mane<\/a>, Leroy San\u00e9<\/a>, Romelu Lukaku<\/a>, Lucas Torreira<\/a>, Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang<\/a> and Sergio Ag\u00fcero<\/a> all feature.<\/p>\n
