Ernest Nuamah is the most expensive young winger outside of Europe's top five leagues

Ernest Nuamah of the Black Stars is the most expensive left winger under the age of 21 playing outside of Europe’s top five divisions.

The fast 19-year-old topped the CIES Football Observatory’s 10-player list; Nuamah is valued at 15.4 million euros, ahead of players from Belgium’s Club Brugge and Portugal’s FC Porto.

The list follows Nuamah’s hat-trick in FC Nordsjaelland’s 4-1 win against Viborg in the Danish Superliga.

Nordsjaelland surrendered a goal in the 10th minute to Mads Songergaard but rallied brilliantly with a brace from Nuamah to take a 2-1 half-time lead.

Benjamin Nygren closed off the scoring in the 89th minute after Nuamah scored his third goal in the 59th minute by bending a left-footed drive into the corner of the net.

Nuamah scored his second goal after collecting a silky pass from fellow Ghanaian and Right to Dream Academy graduate Ibrahim Osman and slotting it into the right side of the goal.
