Contributed Factors in Predicting Market Values of Loaned Out Players of English Premier League Clubs

The top tier of the English football league division is occupied by the English Premier League (EPL). It has become a global phenomenon with exhilarating skills and has been one of the most-watched professional football leagues on the planet. The possibility of a player temporarily playing for a club other than the one to whom they are now contracted is known as a "loan player" in the English Premier League (EPL) hence, each player has a market value. Market value is an estimate of how much a player costs when a club wants to buy his contract from another club. The purpose of this study is to determine the factors that influence a player's market value at the conclusion of a loan period. With the Transfermarkt player transfer record dataset for the years 2004 through 2020, we use linear regression analysis. Our study found that a football player's market worth at the end of a loan period is influenced by several aspects, including market value at the beginning, goals, appearances, and total loan.
