Despite his dispute with Napoli, Osimhen has been decent-to-good for Galatasaray, scoring 22 goals in 28 appearances in all competitions for the Turkish giants.

The latest transfermarkt update shows the recent values of all the Super Eagles players, with Lookman pushing for a top berth, while Fulham pair of Alex Iwobi and Calvin Bassey are in the top 10.
