Top Five Most Expensive Nigerian Transfers 2018 Summer Transfer Window
With the 2018 summer transfer window set to close in most parts of Europe at the end of this month, allnigeriasoccer.com has compiled a list of the top five most expensive transfers involving Nigerian players so far.

1) Ahmed Musa : The Super Eagles World Cup star left Leicester City to join Saudi Arabian club Al-Nassr for a fee of €16.5 million. Though that is the most expensive fee paid for a Nigerian player this summer, it is far below the Nigerian transfer record held by Kelechi Iheanacho, who cost the Foxes £25 million.

2) Samuel Kalu : The winger moved to Bordeaux for an initial fee of eight million euros. Kalu has yet to debut for his new employer in the Ligue 1 due to the absence of paperwork.

3) Oghenekaro Etebo : The versatile midfielder snubbed advances from Watford to join Stoke City before the 2018 World Cup. CD Feirense were compensated to the tune of €7.2 million by the Potters. At £16m, Obi Mikel is the most expensive Nigerian midfielder in history.

4) Moses Simon : Gent cut their losses after accepting a five million euros bid from Levante despite claims he was wanted by Liverpool and German Bundesliga clubs. The winger was once valued at €20 million by the Belgian First Division A club.

5) Peter Olayinka: Slavia Prague paid €3.2 million for the center forward. He scored on his league debut against SFC Opava.
