Most of the seasons in Europe's major football leagues have entered the final stage, and most of the players' results in this season can be concluded. As we all know, transfer fees are often the immediate feedback of a player's strength and potential.
At present, within the range of Asian players, which players can enter the first echelon in terms of transfer numbers? Referring to the current data of the authoritative media "Transfer Market", the author will take stock of the top 10 in this article, and briefly review the season performance of the players on the list for your reference.
10. Endo (EUR 8 million)
Hang Endo, 28, plays as a defensive midfielder and currently plays for Bundesliga club Stuttgart. This season, Endo made 37 appearances in all competitions for Stuttgart, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists.
Looking back at The trajectory of Endo's career, he first debuted from Shonan Bima in the Japanese Second League, and then joined the J1 League giant Urawa Red Diamonds, which enjoys the "Red Devils of Japan", and officially played a famous name.
In 2018, the 25-year-old Endo transferred to St. Turdon, where he was loaned out by Bundesliga's Stuttgart in 2019. Before putting on his Stuttgart shirt, Endo was nothing more than a small transparent in the army of Asian players in Europe.
After moving to Germany, Endo quickly moved to the starting back, helping Stuttgart to become the runner-up in the Bundesliga and successfully return to the Bundesliga this season. In the last Bundesliga season, Endo averaged 7.16 points per game, the highest in the team.
After coming to the Bundesliga, Endo's starting position was not moving, and his personal performance this season was also another level, helping Stuttgart to reach the ninth position in the league. In other words, Endo Hang, who had been dormant for many years, achieved thick and thin hair, and in just one year became the thigh back of the bundesliga mid-tier team, and his value rose to the tenth level in Asia. Witnessing Endo's performance, Stuttgart, of course, decisively paid a 1.5 million euros cheap outing fee and offered a four-year long contract.
9. Huang Xican (11 million euros)
Huang Xican, 25, plays as a centre forward and currently plays for RB Leipzig in the Bundesliga. Under the careful layout of the Red Bull Group, RB Leipzig has become the top five league teams with the strongest rise in recent years, and currently ranks second in the Bundesliga.
Being able to get a stable chance to play at roughly the same level as the Hornets Dortmund, even if it is on the bench for a long time, is actually enough to show that Huang Xican's strength is very strong in the Asian range. This season, Huang Xican has played a total of 22 games for RB Leipzig in all competitions, contributing 3 goals and 3 assists. Incidentally, like many Red Bull players, Huang Xican also became famous from RB Leipzig's satellite team Red Bull Salzburg, Austria, and parachuted into RB Leipzig.
However, relying on Huang Xican's strength and the current age when his potential is almost at the top, it is unrealistic for him to become the attacking core in RB Leipzig, and seeking more opportunities is the top priority for development. At present, he has sent messages of cooperation with clubs including West Ham and Crystal Palace.
VIII. Takumi Minamino (EUR 12 million)
Takumi Minamino, 26, plays as a winger and midfielder and currently plays for Southampton in the Premier League. For Takumi Minamino, I believe that Premier League fans and even passers-by fans who pay attention to European football will not be unfamiliar.
Back in the summer of 2020, Reds Liverpool bought out their main winger Takumi Minamino from Red Bull Salzburg for £7.25 million and signed a four-year contract with the latter. Due to the strong red army lineup, The strength of Takushi Minamino is not enough, in the first season of coming to the Red Army, Takushi Minamino had few opportunities to play, sitting on the bench until this year.
In the middle of the season, the Reds loaned Takushi Minamino to Southampton. Combined with the performance of the two teams successively, Takumi Minamino has scored 3 goals in 18 Premier League appearances, without assists, and the season performance is not lost, and the transfer value fluctuations are not large.
VII. Mahdi Taremi (€12 million)
Mehdi Taremi, 28, plays as a centre forward and currently plays for Porto in the Portuguese Premier League. There are fans who pay attention to the national football competition, and this Iranian player should not be too strange. Because of this, this son is particularly energetic in the game of playing the national football team, breaking through the gate of the national football team several times.
At the club stage, Mahdi Taremi won the attention of the European football world very early, but in 2019, he set out to play in Europe, the first stop was the Portuguese Premier League team Avi River.
Last year, Taremi delivered 19 goals and 2 assists in 33 games at Ávi River, winning the opportunity to join Portuguese Super League giants Porto. Coming to Porto, Taremi's performance has reached a higher level, and the firepower is still amazing, but also points out the skill of paving the way. In 42 matches for Porto this year, Taremi contributed a perfect statistic of 18 goals and 11 assists, and his value naturally soared to the seventh level in Asia.
VI. Li Kangren (€15 million)
Lee Kang-jen, 20, plays as an attacking midfielder and currently plays for Valencia in La Liga. Back in 2011, at the age of 10, Li Kangren left his hometown and went to Spain to develop, joining Valencia's youth training team early.
As a youth product of the Bats, Li Kangren joined the first team in 2019, making his La Liga debut at less than 18 years old. In the same year, Lee Kang-jin scored two goals and four assists at the World Youth Championship, becoming the golden ball winner of the tournament, and officially became popular in football as a "Korean genius".
Coming to this season, the young Li Kangren has gone to the next level and has already established himself in the team. In 23 games for Valencia this season, Lee contributed four assists. Considering that he delivered a precocious performance in the midfield position at such a young age, the transfer value broke through to the level of 15 million euros early.
V. Long-term health care English (15 million euros)
Jiu Jianying, 19, plays as a winger and midfielder and currently plays for Getafe in La Liga. Despite being very young, Ku is actually a long-established Talent of Japanese Football, spending some time in the youth teams of Barcelona and Real Madrid, and his talent and ball are recognized by the two super clubs.
As a young player contracted to Real Madrid, Jiu Jianying has lived a life of training on loan for nearly two years. This season, Jiu Jianying has been loaned to Billy Real and Getafe clubs to train, playing a total of 35 games to contribute 2 goals and 1 assist. This is down from last season's performance in Mallorca with 4 goals and 4 assists in 35 games. Jiu Jianying's skills and dribbling rhythm are really good, and he needs a stronger body to cash in his talent in the five major leagues.
4. Kamada Daichi (16 million euros)
Kamada Daichi , 24 , plays as an attacking midfielder and currently plays for Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga. In terms of style, Kamada's ball protection and shooting skills are good, and the high level of passing straight balls is rare among Asian players. In terms of current performance, Kamada Daichi, who has made 33 appearances this season and handed over 5 goals and 12 assists, should be the first midfielder in Asia at this stage, with the possibility of appearing in the top five league teams in the next two or three years.
3. Fuan Jianyang (18 million euros)
Kenyang Fuan, 22, plays as a centre-back and right-back and currently plays for Bologna in Serie A. Looking back on Fuan Jianyang's career, he took the standard trajectory of first practicing in the first division and then jumping to the five major leagues.
As a defender with a height of 1.88 meters, Fuan Jianyang is extremely malleable, and his impact and flexibility far exceed those of Asian centre-backs of the same height. After coming to Bologna, Fuan Jianyang was transformed from a center-back position to a right-back, and the defensive area and depth of the round-trip ability are impressive. This season, Kenyang Fuan made 30 appearances for Bologna, scoring 2 goals.
SARDAR Azmond (€23 million)
Azmoun, 26, plays as a centre forward and currently plays for Zenit in the Russian Premier League. Azmoun is a long-established Iranian player, with a small technique called flexible under the physique of a standard high school forward, and his indicators in speed and explosiveness are also excellent, and the Asian Cup allowed seven or eight meters to finally crush the goal of overtaking Feng Xiaoting, which is the best illustration.
In terms of strength, Azmoun definitely has the ability to stand in the five major leagues, and he has repeatedly joined the spark with the five major league teams in the past, such as Liverpool. However, Azmoun prefers the Russian Premier League, which has a lot of money and can be stable as the core. This season, Azmoun has been very convincing in his performance for Russian Super League giants Zenit, making 32 appearances throughout the season, contributing 19 goals and 2 assists.
I. Son Heung-min (€85 million)
Son Heung-min, 28, plays as a winger and currently plays for Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League. Presumably, there is no need to introduce Sun Xingyu too much. With 17 goals and 10 assists in 36 Premier League games and 4 goals in 9 Europa League games, Son Heung-min has continued his explosive form this season, even better in efficiency than the previous season. There is no suspense in the top position of Asia's most expensive player, and naturally belongs to the Asian player Son Heung-min at the T0 level.
