Dastan Satpayev is Kazakhstan’s most valuable player

According to authoritative football portal Transfermarkt, 18-year-old winger Dastan Satpayev is the most valuable player in Kazakhstan’s national team. His market value is estimated at 5 million euros.

The forward’s rights belong to London club Chelsea. The British giants signed him last year, but Satpayev only moved to England in the summer of 2026.

He is currently on loan at Burnley. The winger has yet to score a goal or provide an assist for his new club.

Dastan is also the youngest goalscorer in the history of Kazakhstan’s national team. He missed the team’s most recent matches due to injury.
