Man City’s Phil Foden has been named as the most valuable player in Europe’s top-five leagues.

The 21-year-old topped the list with an estimated price of over 163 million pounds, ahead of Man United duo Marcus Rashford and Mason Greenwood.

The survey, by the International Center for Sports Studies, uses a range of factors including a player’s age and performance to work out their estimated transfer value.

Borussia Dortmund’s Erling Haaland came in fourth – making him the most valuable non-EPL player on the list.

It comes following reports that hosts Vietnam are looking to postpone November’s SEA Games, because the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has disrupted construction of some of the facilities.
