Lisbet Easat, an Israeli defender for Bristol City who represents Romania internationally, and Finn Azaz, an Irish midfielder with Israeli roots playing for Southampton, have been recognized in a prestigious English ranking of players with the highest market value within their respective clubs. The study, conducted by research institute CIES, identifies one player per club and excludes those on loan.
Easat is ranked 17th with an estimated value between 11 and 13 million euros. The defender, who joined Bristol City from Maccabi Haifa in the summer, has become a key player in Michael Skovballe's defense, playing nearly every minute of league play until a brief appearance as a substitute before the international break. Despite observations that he has yet to fully display his passing abilities seen at Maccabi Haifa, his valuation makes him Bristol City's most valuable representative on the list.
Azaz is positioned sixth with an estimated value of 28 to 32 million euros. A teammate of Daniel Peretz at Southampton, Azaz continues to establish himself as a prominent attacking midfielder in the Championship. 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 overall ranking is topped by Matheus Mané of 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 values, including add-ons and bonuses, and do not account for release clauses.
