He is not better than most players on that list tho, but he can improve.

Needless to say, the 20 million payed for Mikel in the early 2000s was a lot for an African player in those days, not to talk of a midfielder.

A good striker in those days could go for 10million pounds and good defenders then were not more than 15 million.

I remember when Andy Karel's 35 million pounds price tag at Liverpool about 9 years ago felt like a lot.

Decent strikers these days cost about 30million to 80 million, while defenders now cost up to 80 million pounds.
you're right

real Madrid signed Ronaldo for 80 million pounds then
but nowadays 80 million pounds can only get you lukaku or Harry maguire cheesy

Tired of seeing this dumb comparison. If you factor in inflation and year other transfers were made, we just might see a different outcome.

Everton has been a good club for Nigerian Players, I hope Iwobi is able to reach his potential here,at a club that will really inspire his confidence. Arsenal is too toxic for youth talent!
Arsenal is one of the most conducive clubs for youth talents,you must be confusing them with Chelsea..

And what brings Imo State into the topic?

Does Iwobi sound like an IMO state name?

Don't let your complex and prejudices becloud your faculties..
