A new study has revealed the most valuable squads in football with one Premier League side outstripping their rivals after seeing player valuations soar by over £300m in one year.

The CIES Football Observatory, which uses a statistical model for estimating transfer values, has analysed the differing valuations over the past year.

According to the study, Chelsea have the most valuable squad in football with Enzo Maresca’s side reportedly worth £1.56billion. 

Cole Palmer is the highest valued player in their squad, with the star valued as highly as £140m. 

The analysis may suggest the transfer strategy adopted by Chelsea's owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake Capital to invest in young talent may be paying dividends.

Over the summer, the Blues had invested heavily again in the transfer market with Alejandro Garnacho, Joao Pedro, Estevao, Liam Delap, Jorrel Hato, Dario Essugo and Jamie Gittens among their signings.
