Liverpool and Man City's big-buck players

Say what you like about the ups and downs of Liverpool's season, but there's no denying that their squad still carries plenty of value, even if the City dressing room is snapping at their heels.

Both the global situation and the Reds' failure to retain their title have certainly knocked down player values, but the likes of Alexander-Arnold, Van Dijk and Salah still command monstrous values.

However, none of them can quite lay a glove on Kane who is ranked as the most valuable player in the entire division and the only athlete whose price tag spills above the nine-figure mark.

And with Tottenham trudging their way through another trophyless season, it's not from without the realms of possibility that some of Europe's biggest clubs will be looking to attack that £108m fee.

Will it pay off or will it fall through? Nobody knows, but it goes to show that you can't buy world-class quality in the Premier League without dipping deep into your pockets.
