In-form Strikers Iheanacho, Dessers, Ejuke, Simon Reach Highest Market Values In Their Careers

Published: March 18, 2020

Four attack-minded Nigerian players in the shape of Leicester City's Kelechi Iheanacho, Heracles Almelo's Cyriel Dessers, SC Heerenveen's Chidera Ejuke and Nantes Moses Simon have reached the highest market values in their respective careers.

According to the updated market values published by our colleagues at transfermarkt.com, Iheanacho is now valued at fifteen million euros, which equals his highest market value he first reached on June 28, 2017.

The Taye Academy product has been in brilliant form since the start of the season, scoring a career-best four goals in the League Cup and has the same number of goals combined in the Premier League and FA Cup.

Moses Simon's price was updated on March 13, 2019 and the Levante-owned winger is now worth eight million euros.

The Super Eagles star has contributed to an impressive 17 goals (9 goals, 8 assists) in 30 matches across all competitions, no wonder Nantes want to offer him a permanent deal.

In these days of inflated transfer fees, Belgian-born frontman Dessers was valued at one million euros just before he joined Heracles Almelo but has seen his market value quadruple at four million euros with effect from March 12.

His low price tag could mean several clubs will be scrambling for his signature when the window reopens. He has 18 goals to his name in all competitions.

Heerenveen's Ejuke now has a market value of 4.5 millions but it is envisaged that his Dutch club will not do business with interested clubs in the summer for less than ten million euros.

When the winger joined Heerenveen in July 2019, he was valued at 400,000 euros but was bought for two million euros.
