Arsenal winger Bukayo Saka has been rated as the club’s most valuable asset by CIES Football Observatory.
The statisticians believe that the 19-year-old is worth between €120m and €150m based on their methodology. They use eight criteria to come up with the price, including the player’s age, contract duration and performances.
Saka’s valuation has certainly got fans on Twitter talking, with some supporters even debating whether the Gunners should keep hold of him:
Of he polishes his finishing, he might reach 300 million

No matter Saka’s value, he is an indispensable member of the first-team squad and it would be a huge surprise if Arsenal were to let him go in the next few years.
The teenager has massive potential, and there is every chance that his price could increase even further if he continues on his current career trajectory. Considering it was just over eighteen months ago that he broke into the first team, it has been a rapid rise for the player.
