Osimhen tops Süper Lig’s most valuable players list

Super Eagles and Galatasaray star forward Victor Osimhen has emerged the most valuable player in the Turkish Super Lig.

The latest player valuations from Transfermarkt.com reveal that two Nigerian stars, Osimhen and Bright Osayi-Samuel, are among the 30 most valuable stars in the league.

Osimhen has been crowned the most valuable player in the division with a valuation of €75 million, reflecting the amount of his release clause.

The 25-year-old Nigerian forward is far ahead of the second-ranked player, his teammate Gabriel Sara, who is valued at €23 million.

 

Osimhen’s impressive performances have justified his valuation.

He has netted nine goals in league action, ranking second on the top-scorers chart and fourth in goals-per-game metrics this season.

Bright Osayi-Samuel, who plays as a right-back for Fenerbahçe, is ranked 29th with a valuation of €8 million.

The 26-year-old has made 18 appearances across all competitions this season, although he is yet to record a goal or assist.

While Transfermarkt.com’s valuations are hypothetical and do not represent actual market transfer costs, they underline the growing reputation of the Nigerian duo Osimhen and Osayi-Samuel in Turkish football.
