The Premier League 2019/20 season is now in full play and recently transferred players, up and down the UK, have started to settle in to their new teams.
A recent study by Evolution Money has revealed which UK towns and cities have produced the most valuable talent of all the UK-born players, playing in the 2019/20 Premier League season.
The capital boasts the lion’s share of valuable players, with the market value of London-born players reaching an impressive, £503.64m. There are 39 players in this seasons Premier League hailing from London, making London the UK’s largest producer of football talent.
Despite having such a large pool of players contributing to London’s market value, one star player contributes a huge 25 percent of the total market value for the city. Walthamstow born, Tottenham Hotspur forward, Harry Kane, currently boasts a market value of £135m, making him the highest valued player in the league.
Following London, in places two to five, are four cities located in the North of the UK; Liverpool (£141.16m), Sheffield (£128.25m), Manchester (£127.12m) and Glasgow (£81.45m).
Both Liverpool and Manchester have produced players with a current market value of a striking £72m. Marcus Rashford, from Manchester and Trent Alexander-Arnold, from Liverpool, are each responsible for over 50 percent of their cities market value. Both also play for teams in the cities they were born, Manchester United and Liverpool FC.
Robin Russel-Fisher, Finance Director at Evolution Money, said: ‘’It’s really interesting to see which UK towns and cities have produced the hottest players in this season’s Premier League and it’s great to see that the talent comes from all across the country.
As a Manchester founded company, we were particularly pleased to see that Manchester made it into the top five.”

The northern town of Barnsley also has only one homegrown star in the Premier League this season, John Stones, with a market value of £54m, putting his town in position 11.
