Ghanaian teenager Ernest Nuamah has been valued as the most expensive left winger under the age of 21 playing outside Europe’s top five leagues.
The valuations were done by the independent research and education organization International Centre for Sports Studies (CIES) Football Observatory.
Nuamah is valued at €15.4 million and is followed by Lokomotiv Moscow forward Sergey Pinyaev, who has a value of €11.1 million.
AZ Alkmaar’s Myron Van Brederode and Club Brugge’s Antonio Nusa are third and fourth on the list with valuations of €10.8 million and €9.4 million, respectively.
Meanwhile, Nuamah has made a blistering start to the 2023/24 season after netting a hat-trick in Nordsjaelland’s win over Viborg.
The 19-year-old continued from where he left off last season with some excellent strikes as Nordsjaelland coasted to a 4-1 victory on the opening matchday of the new campaign.
Nordsjaelland fell behind after conceding a 10th-minute goal following Mads Sondergaard’s smart finish for Viborg.
However, Nuamah turned the game around with a double as his side went into the half-time break with a slender 2-1 lead.
The teenager, though, completed his hat-trick right before the hour mark, with Benjamin Nygren adding a fourth goal late in the game.
Also, French giants Paris Saint-Germain are reportedly interested in signing Nuamah after putting Kylian Mbappe up for sale.
The Ligue 1 champions are resigned to losing Mbappe, who has refused to sign a contract extension at the club.
Nuamah was recently voted as the 2022/23 player of the season in the Danish Super Liga and is also a Golden Boy nominee.
