Victor Osimhen Drops to Fifth Among Africa’s Most Valuable Footballers

Super Eagles striker has slipped from the top spot he occupied in 2023, according to Transfermarkt valuations.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has dropped to fifth place on the list of Africa's most valuable footballers, according to Transfermarkt data.

Osimhen previously topped the African ranking in 2023, before dropping to second in 2025 and then third ahead of this year's Africa Cup of Nations.

The latest decline reflects changes in the market values of other African players, with younger talents and high-performing stars moving ahead of the Nigerian forward.

Osimhen remains one of Nigeria's most valuable footballers and continues to rank among Africa's elite players despite the drop in his market valuation.

The development highlights how quickly football market values can change based on factors including age, club performance, form, potential and transfer-market demand.
