Stoke City’s £5m transfer has more than tripled in value

Stoke City deadline day signing Justin Devenny has seen his estimated transfer value more than triple according to the CIES Football Observatory. Devenny, who joined the Championship side permanently from Crystal Palace for an initial reported fee of £5 million rising to £6 million, is now valued between £16 million and £18.7 million, making him the club's most valuable asset.

The 22-year-old Northern Ireland international signed a four-year contract and made an immediate impact, scoring twice on his debut in a 4-0 victory. Manager Mark Robins has started Devenny in all four matches since his arrival, praising the versatile midfielder's energy and potential to improve as he gains full match fitness.
