Tottenham striker Harry Kane is the third most valuable player in the world, according to a new study.

CIES' Football Observatory says Kane is worth 194.7m euros (£172.65m), behind only Paris St-Germain forward Neymar, 25, and Barcelona's Lionel Messi, 30.

The England forward, 24, scored 56 goals for club and country last year, making him the top scorer in Europe.

Kane's Spurs and England team-mate Dele Alli, 21, is sixth on the list and the second-highest Premier League player.
