Raheem Sterling: Liverpool winger 'is most valuable young player'
Liverpool winger Raheem Sterling is the most valuable young player in Europe, a new study claims.

Sterling, the subject of a failed £40m bid from Manchester City, has been given a weighted value of £35m by the Soccerex 20 Football Value Index.

Manchester United full-back Luke Shaw is ranked ninth, Everton's John Stones 16th and Arsenal's Calum Chambers 19th.

The study analyses players of all nationalities aged under 21 and playing in Europe.

It determines their value based on their age, position, club, contract length, market value perception, international caps, minutes played, goals, injuries and technical quality.

"Combining all the factors, we came up with Sterling as the most valuable," the study's author Esteve Calzada said.

Football Value Index, top 10 & English players
1. Raheem Sterling (Liverpool) £35m


7. Mateo Kovacic (Inter Milan) £18.5m

2. Marquinhos (Paris St-Germain) £27.8m

8. Jose Gaya (Valencia) £18.3m

3. Memphis Depay (Manchester United) £23.8m

9. Luke Shaw (Manchester United) £18m

4. Domenico Berardi (Sassuolo) £21.6m

10. Aymeric Laporte (Athletic Bilbao) £17m

5. Jose Gimenez (Atletico Madrid) £21.4m

16. John Stones (Everton) £12m

6. Hakan Calhanoglu (Bayer Leverkusen) £19.4m

19. Calum Chambers (Arsenal) £10.6m

Paris St-Germain's Brazilian defender Marquinhos is ranked second at £27.8m with Manchester United new boy Memphis Depay - signed for £31m - third at £23.8m.

Calzada says the Football Association rule that Premier League clubs must have eight home-grown players in their squads makes English players more expensive.

England's total of four representatives on the list is more than any other nation, while nine of the top 20 will be playing in the Premier League next season.

"That shows the strength of the competition," Calzada added.

"We are used to seeing high-value domestic-only transfers in the UK. This is just another way to prove that."
 
If a deal wasn't on the cards for Sterling, then Liverpool would be busy trying to rehabilitate him in the supporters eyes.

Looked through the back pages on Twitter. Not much football. Villa demanding full £32.5m for Benteke (release fee) and Soton want £27m for Schneiderlin, De Gea getting closer to Real Madrid as Casillas going to Porto
 
Falcao would probably have his penalty saved

If he is coming to us, it can't be good for the young lad to have to report to work everyday where he's not wanted. The sooner the better, surely, for all involved.
 
I certainly hope Milner doesnt turn his head though :(

Yea that's a big worry. "Look Raheem, they might have the best facilities in the world, you'll get a massive pay rise and a chance to win the Premier League and challenge for every cup, play in Europe every year and play alongside Yaya, Silva, Aguero and possibly Pogba and KDB, but you'll never be able to work with a top class manager like Brendan again"

Exactly. Raheems first question would be "what did you win there James?"
