Luis Diaz is the eighth-most valuable footballer in the world according to the CIES Football Observatory’s latest estimations.

The Colombian international is valued at £94m, £400,000 pounds more than Manchester centre-half, Ruben Dias, and half a million pounds more than former attacker, Ferran Torres.

It’s testament to the 25-year-old’s terrific form since trading the Portuguese top-flight for the Premier League, with the electric winger excelling beyond all expectations.
