Darwin Nunez and Antony dos Santos are the highest valued players outside of Europe's 'Big Five' leagues, according to a new study published by the CIES Football Observatory.

Highly-rated Benfica striker Nunez is valued at £60million, Manchester United target Antony has a £48m valuation, and there is whole host Sporting Lisbon, Porto and Ajax stars among the top 20 on the list.

Below the leading pair is Lisbon defender Goncalo Inacio at 44m and PSV Eindhoven striker Cody Gakpo at £42m.

Further down the list is Lisbon duo Matheus Nunes and Pedro Goncalves both valued around £41m.

Nunes and Goncalves are just yet more proof of Lisbon's talent with three players inside the top six.

Porto goalkeeper Diogo Costa (£35m) was next on list with Club Brugge forward Charles De Ketelaere (£33m).

Sebastien Haller (£33m), most West Ham fans would believe to be a surprise inclusion, but his Ajax form is proof just why he rounds up the top 10.

Orkun Kokcu is in the 12th after impressing this season for Feyenoord, having scored 9 times this campaign.

The 19-year-old has become a first-team regular in the Eredivisie this campaign under Erik ten Hag - making 42 appearances in all competitions.

AZ Alkmaar forward Jesper Karlsson, Porto midfielder Vitinha Ferreira, and Club Brugge's Noa Lang were sat just behind Gravenberch all valued between £27m-£31m.

Porto's attacking midfielder Fabio Vieira has been key to his club's success as they currently lead the league.
