Two of Crystal Palace’s summer signings have shot up in a recent market valuation of players under the age of 23 across Europe’s top five leagues.
According to the CIES Football Observatory, Eagles centre-back Marc Guehi is worth a cool £41.8million while winger Michael Olise is worth £18.8million. The pair of recruits from last summer have both hit the ground running in south London and have become two of Patrick Vieira’s most trusted players on the pitch following several excellent performances in red and blue.
Guehi arrived at Selhurst Park from London neighbours Chelsea for around £18million having only played two senior fixtures for the Blues before, but spent time on loan at Swansea in the Championship. He has since become a cornerstone of Palace’s side and has played in 30 Premier League matches for the Eagles, scoring twice in the top-flight as well as bagging a further two goals in four FA Cup appearances.
