Declan Rice [41]

Europe's two most in-form teams meet at the Emirates in the Champions League this Wednesday. Arsenal are still yet to concede a single goal in the competition this season, winning all four of their opening games, but face their toughest test yet. They welcome German giants Bayern Munich, who also boast a 100% win record in the Champions League this season, scoring 14 goals in the process.

This weekend first-place meets second-place in the Premier League at Stamford Bridge in what is looking like a mouth-watering match-up. Not only that, but the encounter comes just after Chelsea have beaten Spanish giants Barcelona 3-0 in the Champions League, whilst their upcoming opponents Arsenal dismantled Bayern Munich 3-1 at the Emirates. The Blues are currently six points behind the league leaders, but a win on Sunday would put Enzo Maresca's team firmly in the title race and send a strong message to Mikel Arteta's team.

On Tuesday Transfermarkt released its latest market value update of the Premier League. As the richest and most valuable league in the world, increases or decreases in market value throughout the league have a profound impact on some of the biggest stars in world football. No less than 543 players saw a change in their market value during this update and undoubtedly the most profound change came at Manchester City, where star striker Erling Haaland saw his market value increase by €20 million to €200m. This in turn put the Norwegian star back on top as the joint most valuable player in the wor...

There were doubts about Arsenal's decision to spend €116.6million to sign Declan Rice two and a half years ago. But it's fair to say those dissenting voices have gradually died down as the England international continues to spearhead the Gunners' Premier League title pursuit. Sidelined in their 4-1 win over Aston Villa, the 26-year-old returned for the away trip to Bournemouth and delivered a marvellous second-half performance as Mikel Arteta's side clinched a vital 3-2 win on the South Coast.

It's crunch time in the Champions League for Arsenal. After being knocked out of last season's semi-finals by Paris Saint-Germain, the Gunners are looking to go one step further in Madrid to gain a place at Puskas Arena in Budapest for the final. Premier League leaders Arsenal go to Atlético Madrid at the Wanda Metropolitano. Whilst many of Europe's superstars have already been eliminated, there remains an abundance of talent in this season's Champions League. But how many Arsenal players make the most valuable XI from this term's four semi-finalists? Let's find out.

As transfer fees continue to escalate to more and more mouth-watering sums, and Premier League clubs persist in outspending all of their European rivals, 'English tax' maintains its theme among fans and media. It is often argued that a player holding an English passport can elevate their market value, and although this is not always true, we have witnessed incredible amounts of money spent on English players down the years.

Thomas Tuchel has the privilege of overseeing one of the most valuable squads in world football as England head coach, and some may be surprised to learn the Three Lions are actually worth more than the world champions Spain. Over the past two years, Luis de la Fuente's side have won back-to-back tournaments at Euro 2024 and then the 2026 World Cup, yet they still lag behind England in the market value stakes ahead of their UEFA Nations League clash on Saturday at Wembley.

The October international break brought with it Transfermarkt's latest Premier League market value update. With 257 players revalued, and a division-wide rise of +€945 million, it cements the English top-flight as by far the most valuable league in world football at €14.10 billion. After a record-breaking summer transfer window, the market has spoken: and we can now take a look at the rankings of the division's most valuable stars.

The latest Transfermarkt market value update season has come to a close with intermediate updates taking place across Europe's top leagues. Now that the dust is settled, we can take a look at the latest list of British talent; the numbers make striking reading. With a total value of €2.88 billion, we have ranked the top 50 most valuable British footballers in the world right now. Players tied on market value are ranked by youngest first.
