Standard Liège club-trained players

On the record we can verify, 22 players club-trained at Standard Liège now play for other clubs we track, led by Nathan Ngoy (LOSC Lille, value €33m), Nicolas Raskin (Rangers, value €14m) and Lucas Noubi (Deportivo A Coruña, value €6m).

• Michel-Ange Balikwisha · Gent · €5m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
