Most intense speculation in the summer: Lookman, Osimhen named in TransferFeed top 100 stars 2024
Published: September 19, 2024Typically, transfer window analysis focuses on finalized deals, record-breaking fees, and overall club spending.
However, TransferFeed, a London-based transfer rumour platform, has shifted the focus to the true stars of the transfer window — the players generating the most buzz.
By applying their technology and four key criteria to analyze millions of data points, they've identified the players who were at the center of attention and the subject of the most intense speculation this summer.
Among these top 100 stars, two Nigerian players stood out.
Victor Osimhen, ranking 3rd on the list, was one of the most talked-about players this summer according to TransferFeed.
His goal-scoring abilities, combined with Napoli's openness to a potential transfer, made him a magnet for elite clubs across Europe.
Speculation about his future ran high throughout the window, with nearly every top-tier club showing interest.
In a surprising twist, after the transfer window had closed in most leagues, Osimhen secured a loan move to Turkish giants Galatasaray, keeping the excitement alive until the very end.
Meanwhile, Ademola Lookman, who placed 51st, also drew significant attention.
The Atalanta forward was rumored to be on the radar of clubs like Arsenal and PSG, sparking considerable speculation over a potential move.
Despite the persistent rumors, Atalanta's firm stance in negotiations kept Lookman at the club for now, demonstrating their determination to retain the talented winger.
These players' inclusion in the TransferFeed Top 100 Stars 2024 not only underscores their individual talents but also highlights the growing prominence of Nigerian footballers on the global stage.
