Everyday, Football INDEX highlights the five biggest market mover over a 24-hour period. Here are the current five:

1. KENEDY (NEWCASTLE)

Kenedy has made a real impact at Newcastle since joining on loan from Chelsea at the start of the year and Rafa Benitez’s side will surely push to retain his services next season.

The Brazilian has played a direct hand in four goals (two goals, two assists) in eight league appearances for Newcastle since his arrival, including three in his last three (two goals, one assist).

Kenedy’s performances, particularly during Newcastle’s purple patch of form, have caused a sudden flurry of interest on Football INDEX, spiking the biggest share price increase over the last 24 hours.

The 22-year-old has broken past the £1.00 barrier on Football INDEX and should be considered for your portfolios as Newcastle look to cement a position in the top half of the table.

2. PANAGIOTIS RETSOS (BAYER LEVERKUSEN)

The 19-year-old scored the first goal of his senior career in Bayer Leverkusen’s shock 4-1 win away to RB Leipzig on Monday and that has caused a stir on Football INDEX.

Panagiotis Retsos’ buy price has already increased 19.93% since then and now the teenage defender is trading at £0.61 per share.

The Greece international has started 14 matches in his breakthrough campaign for Leverkusen this season and also weighed in with three assists from defence for the Bundesliga outfit.

Capable of playing right the way across the defensive line, Retsos has proven his versatility for Leverkusen this season.

Retsos could prove an interesting addition to your portfolios on Football INDEX, mainly if you think the teenager can secure a high profile move in the future.

3. AYOZE PEREZ (NEWCASTLE)

Newcastle have incredibly moved into the top half of the Premier League after winning three games in a row, all but securing their top-flight status for another season.

The Magpies have peaked at just the right moment and Ayoze Perez has been integral to their upturn in form. He played a direct hand in both of Newcastle’s goals in their 2-1 win over Leicester on Saturday and was named the WhoScored Man of the Match as a result.

Perez has now scored in successive league matches for the first time since November 2014 and that has piqued the interest of Football INDEX traders.

The 24-year-old’s Football INDEX share price has increased 15.31% in the last 24 hours of trading, with his buy price currently sitting at £0.63. He should come into consideration for your portfolios for the rest of the campaign.

4. FLORINEL COMAN (FSCB)

The fourth biggest market riser on Football INDEX over the last 24 hours is Steaua Bucuresti starlet Florinel Coman.

The 20-year-old has been touted as one of the most exciting players developing in Romanian football at the moment and was even linked to Chelsea at the start of the season.

Steaua Bucuresti paid £2m to sign the youngster from Viitorul Constanta in 2017, fending off competition from Benfica in the process, and reportedly even included an £88m release clause in his contract.

Believed to be as good as Kylian Mbappe by the club, they obviously believe their man will secure a big money move in the future.

His Football INDEX share price is only £0.58 and he might be worth considering if you believe the hype.

5. GEORGINIO WIJNALDUM (LIVERPOOL)

With Jordan Henderson suspended and Emre Can injured, the responsibility of playing at the heart of Liverpool’s midfield three against Manchester City is expected to fall on the shoulders of Georginio Wijnaldum.

The Netherlands international was given the chance to get familiar with that role in Saturday’s Merseyside derby and flourished in patches during the 0-0 draw.

Enough was done to convince Jurgen Klopp he deserves to play in their crunch match with City on Tuesday night and his Football INDEX share price has increased 10.80% as a result.

Liverpool are 3-0 ahead from the first leg, but City are expected to come out the traps quickly against the Reds, even though they have lost their last two matches, shipping six goals in the process.

With that in mind, it’s unlikely Wijnaldum will perform to a level against Pep Guardiola’s side that will further cause a spike in his Football INDEX share price. He might be one to avoid.
