Published: December 13, 2016
The imminent move of Wilfred Ndidi to English Premier League champions Leicester City is set to be the second most expensive transfer involving a Nigerian teenager, barring any last minute change.
Allnigeriasoccer.com has been informed that Racing Genk will pocket a minimum of €17 million transfer fee from the sale of their Nigerian jewel to the Foxes, if performance-related incentives are not included in the mix.
John Obi Mikel remains the most expensive Nigerian teenager signed by a foreign club after Chelsea paid 20 million euros in total to Manchester United and Lyn Oslo for his services more than ten years ago.
For the time being, until Ndidi completes his transfer, Ahmed Musa cost CSKA Moscow €5 million when he joined the Russian champions from VVV Venlo in January 2012, the second most expensive Nigerian teenager to date.
Two of the stars of the Golden Eaglets class of 2015 Kelechi Nwakali and Victor Osimhen joined Arsenal and Wolfsburg respectively for an initial fee of 3.5 million euros.
