Victor Osimhen Drops to Fifth in Africa's Valuation Rankings
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has fallen to fifth place in the latest Transfermarkt ranking of Africa’s most valuable footballers, with a valuation of €75m. Previously, he held the top position in 2023, dropped to second in 2025, and third ahead of the Africa Cup of Nations.
He is now behind Yan Diomande (€90m), Achraf Hakimi, and Antoine Semenyo (€80m each), and Ayyoub Bouaddi (€80m). Despite this ranking drop, Osimhen has had an impressive start to the 2026/27 season with Galatasaray, scoring four goals and providing one assist in two matches.
He recently moved into third place on Galatasaray’s all-time list of foreign goalscorers. Osimhen remains a target for clubs like Arsenal and Al Hilal as the transfer window approaches.
He is ranked as the 20th most valuable forward globally and eighth among centre-forwards. Osimhen is also the most valuable player in the Turkish Super Lig, having scored 63 goals in 76 appearances for Galatasaray since joining from Napoli.
