Iwobi, estimated to be worth an impressive €55.2 million, has dethroned Leicester’s Wilfred Ndidi as the most valuable Nigerian player.
Ndidi, who was worth €79.2 million at his peak February 2018, has dropped to €55 million, just a little behind Iwobi.
The next Nigerian player on the list, though, falls a little far below: Chelsea’s Victor Moses worth €24 million.
