RAHEEM STERLING has been slapped with a new £135million price tag – making him the third most expensive player on the planet.
The 25-year-old has seen his valuation rocket through the roof after scoring 15 goals and making four assists for Manchester City already this season.
Raheem Sterling is the most expensive player in the Premier League
Transfermarkt have updated the values of 504 players in the English top-flight judging by their current form.
According to their latest figures, Sterling is the most valuable star in Premier League history following an increase of £17m.
This means he is worth more than Lionel Messi(£135m), but less than Neymar(£162m) and Kylian Mbappe(£180m).
The England ace will also become City’s highest-paid player with a new £450,000-a-week contract if he signs a new deal.
Trent Alexander-Arnold, 21, has also secured his spot in the Premier League’s most pricey line-up after his remarkable run of form.
He has been so impressive that a Sri Lankan journalist picked him to win the Ballon d’Or.
His valuation has rocketed from £68m to £93m – which makes him more expensive than team-mate Virgil van Dijk.
The Dutchman, who joined Liverpool for a world record £75m last year, is now worth £85m.
Andy Robertson has also made the cut after seeing his value increase from £50m to £67m.
Aymeric Laporte would start at the back alongside Van Dijk after proving his potential with Manchester City.
Kevin De Bruyne has a new market value of £126m, while Sadio Mane’s 11 goals this season explain his increase of £25million.
N’Golo Kante, Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah would also make the cut – but their values have remained the same.
