The three-time African champions have a majority of their players in Europe’s top five leagues and, as a result, are one of the world’s most valuable teams

The Super Eagles of Nigeria have the 21st most valuable international team in the world and the third most valuable in Africa.

According to Transfer Markt, the Super Eagles squad has a total value of €226.65m with Wilfred Ndidi, the most valuable player in the team at €60m.


And that makes the three-time African Champions the third-most valuable team on the continent. Ivory Coast are the most valuable African team and 14th in the world with a value of €321.38m, followed by the best team on the continent, Senegal, with a market value of €299.00m.

Meanwhile, England have the most valuable team in the world with a market value of €1.18bn. They are followed by World Champions France (€1.07bn), European Champions Italy (€916.00m), Germany (€882.00m) and Spain (€754.50m) in the top five.

There’s a reason why the top three nations have the most valuable players and that’s because their leagues set the value of best players in their own nations and also the best from abroad.Not many clubs outside those leagues can afford to over value their players unless they want to keep them.

English players are over-valued as usual, when one considers how many world/continental trophies these players have won.
Please let no one bring the issue of the EPL being the best league, as we know that the best players on the top teams are
not necessarily English.
