  THE BIGGER PICTURE

  That talent bracket is also occupied by Barca wonderkid Yamal – who, like Palmer, has inherited an iconic No.10 shirt this summer. They are considered to be two of the most valuable assets in world football.

  WHAT WADDLE SAID

  Ex-England international Chris Waddle has told , who provide the best betting sites: "I think if Cole Palmer was available, you’d have to break the bank to get him. Lamine Yamal is in that same category. I think Palmer would go for more than Jude Bellingham.

  "In the modern game players go for over £100 million and at the minute you’d have to say about £150 million, Palmer is around that category. The money has gone daft, in my day you’d pay £1 million for a player, it’s just gone ridiculous. At the moment, Palmer and Yamal would be worth over £100 million."
