Published: June 17, 2017
Nigeria U23 international Taiwo Awoniyi is among the top ten most valuable Nigerian teenagers, according to the German website transfermarkt.com.
The Liverpool striker, who has been linked with a departure from Anfield this summer on loan or permanently, will fetch €400,000 in transfer fees, and ranked fourth in the list.
Samuel Kalu is now the most expensive Nigerian teenager, replacing Eupen frontman Henry Onyekuru who celebrated his 20th birthday on June 5.
The Gent sensation is valued at three million euros, three times the amount the Belgians paid to secure his signature from AS Trencin less than six months ago, while Victor Osimhen (Wolfsburg) and Nura Abdullahi (Roma) complete the top three positions.
