The global football scene continues to witness the meteoric rise of most Nigerian talent especially in Europe.

With the latest Transfermarkt valuations reaffirming the country’s dominance in producing world-class players.

As of March 2025, Victor Osimhen remains Nigeria’s most valuable footballer, despite his ongoing contractual disputes with Napoli.

Osimhen, currently on loan at Galatasaray, has been in scintillating form, netting 22 goals in 28 appearances across all competitions for the Turkish giants.

His consistency and goal-scoring prowess have kept him at the top of the list, with a market value of €75 million.

His ability to perform under pressure and deliver in high-stakes matches has solidified his reputation as one of Africa’s finest exports to European football.

Hot on his heels is Ademola Lookman, whose stellar performances for Atalanta have seen his value soar to €55 million.

Lookman’s versatility and ability to deliver in crucial moments have made him one of the most sought-after wingers in Europe.

The list also features rising stars like Victor Okoh Boniface, who has been a revelation for Bayer Leverkusen.

Boniface’s physicality, technical ability, and eye for goal have made him a key player for the German side, earning him a valuation of €45 million.

Alex Iwobi, whose leadership at Fulham has been instrumental in their Premier League campaign, is valued at €25 million. Iwobi’s work rate, creativity, and ability to control the midfield have made him a fan favorite.

Calvin Bassey, another Fulham standout, rounds off the top 10 with a value of €16 million. Bassey’s defensive solidity, pace, and ability to play both as a center-back and left-back have made him a versatile asset for his club.
