Two football stars Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo might be the dominant figures of 21st century, but Tottenham duo Harry Kane and Dele Alli worth more than them according to analysis by the International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES).

Neymar tops the list that was compiled by the Swiss-based study centre.

The list estimates the value of the 110 most desirable players in Europe's top five leagues, using an algorithm based on analysis of almost 2,000 paying fee transfers.

Neymar is valued at €210.7million under criteria considering performance, club, international status, age, position and marketability.

Messi, who turns 30 later this month is reportedly on the verge of extending his contract at Camp Nou, comes in fourth on €151.7m.

Meanwhile England internationals Alli and Kane pipping him on €155.1m and €153.6m respectively..

Ronaldo who is 32-year-old comes in at €112.4m in the CIES standings.

Ronaldo is the oldest player on the list, with Monaco teen star Kylian Mbappe the youngest. Mbappe only registers €92.6m, ranking him below the likes of Manchester City's Raheem Sterling and Atletico Madrid's Yannick Carrasco.

Manchester United's Pogba who is the most expensive player in the world represents value for money in the CIES figures.
