Wilfred Ndidi Dethrones Osimhen As Nigeria’s Most Valuable Player

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi is now Nigeria’s most valuable footballer.

Infoexpert24 understands that the Leicester City star has been rated Nigeria’s most valuable footballer in terms of financial value, Africa’s fourth and 54th in the world.

That is according to the latest ranking of players by Transfermarket, whose algorithm uses such factors as performance, age, and contract length, as well as club and country, represented to determine an individual’s worth.

Their chart placed Liverpool duo Mohammed Salah valued at €100m, Saido Mane (€85m) and new Paris Saint Germain signing Achraf Hakimi (€60m) in the top three spots of the African list, ahead of Nigeria international, Ndidi, who is valued at €60m.
