Rob Holding & 4 other Gunners who are worth at least twice their latest market value

Ainsley Maitland-Niles (€18m — worth at least €36m)A man of the match performance in the FA Cup final and the Community Shield against arguably the best team of the decade, two England caps to date and incredible versatility seem unconvincing to experts at Transfermarkt as their valution of Ainsley stands at ridiculously low €18m.However, with Ains becoming crucial to Arteta's system in his hybrid left-wing role, we think the 23-year-old costs at least €36m, and probably way more than that.
