According to the football data base transfermarkt.co.uk, these five players are the most valuable in the Premier League. Does their market value really live up to their performances?





5. Juan Mata, Chelsea
Market Value: £37.000.000

The Spanish midfielder has so far had 23 appearances for Chelsea in the Premier League this season, scored 10 goals and made 12 assists. Joining Chelsea from Valencia in a £23.496.000 transfer, he has so far only won two trophies with the Londoners; the FA Cup and the Champions League. However, as statistics tell the 24-year-old is a great contributor to Chelsea's offensive. Furthermore, the EURO 2012 weighs high on his market value, which only a few would argue lives up to his performances.

4. David Silva, Manchester City
Market Value: £38.500.000

Manchester City's David Silva joined the club in 2010 for 25.3m and has been a regular starter ever since. The midfielder has so far appeared in 22 premier League matches for City this season and contributed with two goals and 7 assists. In his time, in Manchester City,  he has won the Premier League and the FA Cup. Impressing, but his current stats does not live up to his market value.

3. Robin van Persie, manchester United
Market Value: $39.500.000

The Dutch was a star in Arsenal and is still a star in Manchester United. Last season he was the topscorer in the Premier League, and since his £27m transfer in the summer, the goals has kept coming in his direction. This season he has made 18 goals in 25 matches including 9 assists. Definately worth his market value!

2. Kun Agüero, manchester City
Market value: £39.500.000

Sergio Aguero is one of the biggest profiles in Manchester City, or at least he was when joined from Atletico de Madrid in 2011. The 24-year-old striker has a Premier League trophy behind him and 41 goals for City. However, at the moment he has only scored 9 goals in this Premier League season might not just be 39.5m worth.



1. Wayne Rooney, Manchester United
Market Value: £57.000.000

Wayne Rooney is the most valuable player in the Premier League, according to transfermarkt.co.uk. At the same time,  he is the most valuable English player in the world, and it is no wonder given his history. Having his debut for Everton when he was only 16-years old and joining Manchester United two years after, the forward have not looked back. About 11 trophies after his transfer to United, he has almost doubled his value.
