Marcus Rashford of Manchester United with a transfer fee of around €70.7m was third in the list while Manchester City Gabriel Jesus finished 5th with a worth of €56.3m as his worth in event of a transfer.
20 year old Ndidi finished 10th on the list with a transfer worth of €30.3m, a high rating by his standard and also the only African player in the top ten.
