Obviously Osimhen. Ndidi not far behind... Chukwueze is not quite performing at the same level.

I think Nigeria is still not good enough in Football. We are not even African champions, and when we go to World Cup we always crash out of the group stage (of recent at least). With our massive population a lot more is expected of us. I’m even surprised we are ranked number 31 by FIFA as at today.
Brazil has just about 10 million people more than us. Football is practically our only national sport, so we have to be doing much better. Argentina population is just 45.2 million and they have many good players. Uruguay barely has 3.5 million population are they are really good playing football. I hope nobody will ask me why China with 1.3 billion people remains unknown in football. Football is not their national sport. China represents really well at Olympic Games, after USA they are number 2. The poor quality of Nigeria football league isn’t helping issue for us at all.
Now back to the core question, I think Osimhen is ahead of Chukwuemeka and also ahead of Ndudi. At least based on their performance at club level of recent.

I know one senseless human will go tribal on a sport thread.

Ndidi for me, Chukweze did well in one or two matches in world cup and then refuse to show again.
Which Chukwueze participated in the World Cup?

Face and role model definitely Ndidi.....great footballer who combines that with school - not saying going to school is ultimate show - But being that responsible with so much money at his disposal shows someone that has a good head on his neck.... certainly leadership material......I will go with him

The face of Nigeria football must show maturity from a young age

That Ndidi is just extra ordinary...

He can mark, he can make accurate pass, he can score.

One of the best Midfielder currently in EPL.

Abeg he is undisputed
Backpasses you mean? I guess you don't watch him play because that's one of his game deficiencies. Nigga can't give a forward pass to save his life.

So back passes gave him the award of the best Midfielder in EPL? He was even selected at one point as one of the 5 best Midfielders in Europe.

He is the one of the best defensive midfielder no doubt but being the best Midfielder do not equates being the best/better passer of the ball or you don't know the meaning of "accurate pass".

I'm sure he doesn't average more than 30 passes in a game, how many long balls? His passing accuracy may even be higher but it's all due to his "safe and backward passes" which I referred to as "maje ko baje" football. It's always a pain in the ass when you see him with a ball, but making tackles and interceptions, he is one of the best.

That was before.

Ndidi has greatly improved in that regards.

His assists and vital goals has improved based on that.

In football, delivery of passes ( Long, short, front or backward) is what makes one extra ordinary, especially midfielder.

How would rate Ndidi passes delivery?

Average. In a team where the pattern is not possession based football, he is the go to guy. He is a perfect fit for Leicester.

New face how?? Wetin these ones de play?

Ndidi is below average- Just tackling carelessly and without calculation. Osimhen, still playing kindergarten football and scoring goals with premature kids in his club. Chukwueze is still someone I can rate average due to his confidence and use of ball, but Na just 45 mins player.

All of them are not intelligent players- They don’t wow me

Average still fair.

In EPL, these are the players are always respect when it comes to passes delivery.

Matic
Fernandinho
Maguire

Ndidi is becoming a rock. Osimhen lifts the team.

With the right mentoring Chukwueze will be better than the first two.

Ndidi is just maturing into his role in last 2 years.

In the next 12 months if Osimhen remains consistent or even marginally improves, he will be our best.

Ndidi ahead for now. The other two in very hot pursuit.

Osimen for me is the future just like Dem mpabe is been tipped ahead of Neymar.

Ndidi is good but he is already at his peak now, time is coming when decline will creep in.

I just can't wait to see what osimen peak would be cos that guy is destined for a huge club

Chukweze is good but puts too much effort on dribble and skills instead of result

Osimen is just a direct goal machine
