Nigerian players linked with summer moves : Top five targets and ANS valuation

The transfer window is around the corner and as expected, clubs are already finalizing their transfer plans before the window officially opens on the 10th of June 2022.

Ahead of the opening date, allnigeriasoccer.com takes a look at the top five Nigerian targets of the upcoming window.

1) Name :  Victor Osimhen
Club : Napoli
Linked with : Manchester United, Arsenal, Newcastle United
ANS valuation : £50 million

Comments : The Super Eagles striker has been on the shortlist of major clubs since the season ended. His tally of eighteen goals in 32 appearances last season is a testament to his influence and finishing.

2) Name : Calvin Bassey
Club : Glasgow Rangers
Linked with : Aston Villa, West Ham United
ANS valuation : £4 million

Comments : The versatile left-back has enjoyed the best season of his career winning the Scottish Cup and getting to the Europa League final. Bassey has been linked with a move to Aston Villa and it is no surprise with the quality he displayed throughout last season.

3) Name : Emmanuel Dennis
Club : Watford
Linked with : West Ham, Brentford, Crystal Palace
ANS valuation : £25 million

Comments: Due to his team's relegation from the Premier League, Dennis has been attracting interest from clubs in England and abroad. Scoring 10 goals and assisting a further 6 in a struggling Watford team is no easy feat and so many teams will be slugging it out for his signature.

4) Name : Joe Aribo
Club : Glasgow Rangers
Linked with : Crystal Palace, Brentford, Aston Villa, Southampton
ANS valuation : £5 million

Comments : One of the most sought after Nigerian players. With his contract ending next June and the midfielder not interested in extending his stay, Rangers might decide to sell him this summer.

5) Name : Malcolm Ebiowei
Club : Derby County
ANS Valuation : Free agent
Linked with : Club Brugge, Crystal Palace, Newcastle United, Manchester United, Tottenham Hotspur, Monaco, Vitesse.
 

Comments : Ebiowei's stock has risen after a breakout season that saw him make sixteen appearances in the Championship. The 2019 Golden Eaglets invitee is unlikely to continue with relegated Derby County.
