Lisbet Eisat, an Israeli defender for Bristol City who represents Romania internationally, and Finn Azaz, an Irish midfielder of Israeli descent playing for Southampton, have been recognized in a prestigious ranking of the most valuable players within their respective clubs in England's Championship league. The study, conducted by research institute CIES, evaluates the projected transfer value of players, excluding loan players and including only one representative per club.
Eisat is ranked 17th with an estimated value between 11 and 13 million euros. Having joined Bristol City from Maccabi Haifa this summer, he has become a key player in the defense, though his passing abilities, noted during his time in Haifa, have yet to be fully showcased in England. Despite this, his valuation makes him Bristol City's most valuable player on the list.
Azaz, a teammate of Daniel Peretz at Southampton, is positioned sixth with an estimated value of 28 to 32 million euros. Southampton acquired him last summer in a deal potentially worth up to 16 million pounds with bonuses. CIES now values him significantly higher, between 23.7 and 27.1 million pounds.
The top of the overall ranking features Matheus Cunha from Wolves, valued at 43-50 million euros, followed by Taty Castellanos of West Ham at 39-45 million euros, and Mohamed Touré of Norwich in third place with 30-34 million euros. These CIES valuations represent projected transfer fees, including potential add-ons and bonuses, but do not account for release clauses.
