What happened
In the last few years, Nigeria has seen a meteoric rise in the quality and volume of attackers produced, with the likes of Victor Osimhen, Victor Boniface and Terem Moffi heading that list.

Per TransferMarkt, Osimhen is currently valued at €120 million, Ademola Lookman at €30 million, Boniface at €40 million, Taiwo Awoniyi at €30 million and even Wilfred Ndidi and Alex Iwobi, who are midfielders, are worth as much as €25 million and €28 million respectively. The total valuation of the Super Eagles squad is €451.6 million.
