Top 20 Premier League MVPs: Tottenham star ranks joint first as Arsenal, Chelsea & West Ham players make list

The summer transfer window officially opens later this week as clubs across English football look to get their squads set for the 2022/23 season.

Over one third of the top 20 most valuable players in the Premier League play for clubs in London, according to data from Transfermarkt.

The division’s MVPs, based on their current market value ahead of the 2022/23 season, are primarily made up of stars from teams who finished in the top four of the table last season but there are still places for players from Arsenal and West Ham.

Champions Manchester City dominate the top 20 with seven players which is the same amount as the Gunners, Hammers, Chelsea and Tottenham combined.

However, the Blues are also well represented with three players while Spurs have two including the league’s joint MVP.

The rest of the top 20 are made up of stars from Liverpool and Manchester United.

The data also shows that half of the top 20 players are current England internationals while Portugal have the next highest contingent with three and Belgium have two.

The remaining five are represented by players from Egypt, Senegal, Germany, Spain and South Korea.

Another interesting statistic from the site is that no player in the English top flight is currently valued at £100m or more unlike France’s Ligue 1 or the German Bundesliga.

Here are the top 20 current Premier League players based on their current market value (via Transfermarkt):
