The one player at each EFL Championship club who could be sold for a fortune | OneFootball

Every Championship club has a player who could bring in a transformative fee - we pick the most sellable asset at all 24 sides

The Championship is English football’s great marketplaces - a proving ground where rising stars earn their reputations and clubs quietly build their balance sheets.

For every team chasing promotion, another must balance ambition with sustainability, developing talent that could one day deliver a transformative transfer fee.

Whether it’s a teenage prodigy lighting up the second tier or a seasoned professional hitting their prime, each club has at least one player whose value could soon skyrocket.

With that in mind, Football League World takes a closer look at the most sellable asset at every Championship club.

Christoph Klarer - Birmingham City

A classy centre back, Klarer has handled the step up in divisions with ease.

Composed on the ball and dominant in the air, he’s quickly becoming one of Birmingham’s most reliable performers.

The hype around his form will inevitably attract suitors - and the Blues could command a significant fee.

Kristi Montgomery - Blackburn Rovers

The Scotland U21 international midfielder made his professional debut against Sheffield Wednesday last season and has since shown flashes of real quality.

Energetic, hard-working and forward-thinking, he looks to be the next Rovers academy success story - perhaps even following Adam Wharton’s path to the Premier League.

Jason Knight - Bristol City

Long linked with moves away, Knight remains central to everything Bristol City do well.

His pressing, drive, and leadership make him invaluable - but also highly marketable.

If interest reignites, the Robins would be justified in demanding a substantial fee.

Miles Leaburn - Charlton Athletic

At 21, Leaburn is the definition of a homegrown asset: athletic, confident and on the brink of a breakout season.

With a long contract in place, he represents Charlton’s best chance of banking a serious windfall in the near future.

Jack Rudoni - Coventry City

A technical, inventive midfielder with an eye for goal, Rudoni fits perfectly into the current market trend of young, dynamic creators.

If Coventry’s recruitment model continues to impress, he could be the next name bringing in a major profit.

Sondre Langas - Derby County

Calm, authoritative and composed under pressure, Langas has been one of Derby’s most consistent performers in this rocky season.

As the Rams continue to stabilise in the Championship, his growing reputation suggests a big move away may only be a matter of time.

Charlie Hughes - Hull City

Already admired across the division in the summer transfer window, Hughes’ defensive maturity has marked him out as a future top player.

Hull’s decision to turn down bids in the summer speaks volumes - they know his eventual sale will come at a premium.

Sindre Walle Egeli - Ipswich Town

Signed for a club-record £17.5 million and billed by some as “the next Haaland,” Egeli’s potential is sky-high.

If he delivers on even half that billing, Ipswich’s investment could become one of the smartest in Championship history.

Jeremy Monga - Leicester City

Just 16, but already playing beyond his years.

Monga has been linked with both Manchester clubs and impressed during his early senior minutes.

Having broken through at Premier League level last season, Leicester could soon be looking at their next major academy sale.

Hayden Hackney - Middlesbrough

Hackney’s influence in Boro’s midfield grows by the week.

A product of the club’s academy and already an England U21 international, he’s long been on Premier League radars.

Given Boro’s mettle in retaining Hackney in previous windows, it’s surely only going to happen for a hefty fee.
