Mason Greenwood has the highest estimated transfer value of all Premier League players born this millennium with the Manchester United forward valued at a staggering £103.8million.

CIES Football Observatory have compiled a list of players born in the 2000s from the top-flight leagues of England, France, Germany, Italy and Spain – with Greenwood the costliest talent on these shores.

The forward, who turned 19 last month, is deemed to be worth £8.4m more than Manchester City’s Ferran Torres (£95.4m) and £17.5m more than Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka (£86.3m) who are second and third within the Premier League estimated price rankings.

The 20-year-old, who celebrated his birthday on Monday, is a mainstay with the Bayern Munich team and played an integral part in their Treble-winning campaign last season.
