Iheanacho To Become Most Expensive Nigerian [Full List Of Top 20] by VargasVee(m): 4:38pm On Aug 03, 2017
In less than seven months, the transfer record for a Nigerian player is set to be broken, with Manchester City starlet Kelechi Iheanacho on the brink of a move to Leicester City.

The Super Eagles striker has appended his signature to a five-year contract with the Foxes, with City expected to pocket a minimum 28 million euros in transfer fees, which will make him the most expensive Nigerian player of all time, surpassing the record currently held by former Watford star Odion Ighalo.

Before Ighalo had the honour of being the most expensive Nigerian player, it was previously held by ex-Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel for eleven years after the Blues splashed out €20m to secure his services from Lyn Oslo, with Manchester United also compensated.

The third and fourth most expensive transfers involving Nigerian players were completed in the last thirteen months.
Former Premier League champs Leicester City signed Ahmed Musa and Wilfred Ndidi for €19.5 million and €17.6 million respectively.
The costliest Nigerian defender in history is Taribo West, thanks to his €12 million switch from Auxerre to Inter Milan in June 1997.

Thirteenth position currently belongs to Chelsea right wing-back Victor Moses, who moved to the Stamford Bridge outfit in 2012 from Wigan Athletic for €11.5 million.

1) Odion Ighalo - Watford to Changchun Yatai- €23.3m

wow KANU didn't make this list, but he performed more than those people up there only Austin could rival him, well maybe that was because arsene Wenger bought him when he was still young and agile and was later sold at a low price when he has aged. we all know arsene Wenger to be a stingy man.

With the way these football players are being highly-priced, I'm forced to believe there is conspiracy somewhere. Well, maybe not.

Wenger went for him after his heart surgery. He should thank Wenger for reviving his career
