The January window has come and gone with barely a hint of significance, the biggest deal being Ajax’s €22.50m signing of Sébastien Haller. Even in the Premier League, a division renowned for its tendency to overspend on foreign talent, we have seen the least net spend for almost 9 years, with all 20 clubs collectively spending less than Liverpool did on Virgil van Dijk 2018.
As football continues to be played behind closed doors, purse strings are tighter than ever, forcing clubs at all levels of the game to become more shrewd in the transfer market. Whilst the search for under the radar players has always been an important step in the recruitment process, now more than ever clubs will need to rely on their scouting range or analytics department to get the most out of a volatile market where one mistake can make the difference between a sustainable future or insolvency.
Using the market values available on Transfermarkt, we have compiled a list of 10 undervalued players who could make an impact at your club next season.
