Arsenal are the only club that boast two players on this list, and the first one we will talk about is their number 10 -- Emile Smith Rowe.

The 20-year-old attacking midfielder is one of England's brightest young starlets, and he's already shown the size of his talent for the Gunners this season. Capable of playing in any of the positions behind the striker with equal impact, he is perfect for a side that employs the 4-2-3-1 formation.

However, as is often the case with promising English players, Smith Rowe comes at a price. This is especially true after Arsenal recognised his potential and signed him to a deal that keeps him at the Emirates until 2026.

To match the Gunners' valuation you would need to shell out anywhere between 36 million and 109 million pounds (admittedly a very broad estimation), but even then you'd face the task of convincing the playmaker to leave his boyhood club.
