According to respected football data experts CIES Football Observatory, Cian Ashford currently tops the list. ??
The academy graduate has been given a "fair transfer value" of between €4.3m and €5m – around £3.67m-£4.27m.
Ashford has been a player Cardiff have long regarded as one of the jewels of their academy, and after injuries and a difficult first season, he's now starting to show why.
His form under Brian Barry-Murphy has earned him his first senior Wales call-up.
And tonight, he could make his Wales debut against Norway at Cardiff City Stadium.
The likes of Dylan Lawlor, Rubin Colwill, Joel Colwill and Ronan Kpakio are likely not far behind in their valuations either.
If CIES' figures are anything to go by, Cardiff may have a lot more valuable assets developing under their noses.

How they can value him above Lawlor especially or Rubin is beyond belief. He is turning it to a decent championship player but where do they get this nonsense. Lawlor is acknowledged as a real gem and at a conservative estimate is worth between 10-15 million.
