Victor Osimhen is arguably the most sought-after Nigerian player this summer.

The Napoli-owned striker is currently on loan at Galatasaray, where he has been in phenomenal form, scoring 30 goals in 35 games.

His impressive performances have caught the attention of top European clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Barcelona.

With a reported release clause of €75 million, Osimhen's next move is likely to be a massive one.

Taiwo Awoniyi

Taiwo Awoniyi has found himself struggling for playing time at Nottingham Forest.

The striker has started just seven games in all competitions this season, leading to a drop from the Super Eagles squad.

Awoniyi needs a move to revive his career, and Everton and West Ham, who showed interest in January, may rekindle their pursuit.

Ademola Lookman is another Nigerian star in high demand. The reigning CAF Player of the Year has been instrumental in Atalanta's success, leading the team to Europa League glory with a hat-trick in the final.

Lookman's impressive form has attracted interest from top European clubs, including Manchester United. With his contract expiring in the summer of 2026, the former Fulham man has reportedly handed in a transfer request, paving the way for a potential move.

At 27, Lookman is entering his peak, making him an outstanding signing for any club.

Samuel Chukwueze

Chukwueze has been mediocre in his time at Milan, with a few highs and several lows. The former Villarreal man was linked with a January move to Newcastle and has also drawn reported interest from a number of clubs.

While he has not been a terrible signing, he has failed to live up to expectations, and this might be the right time for him to move on.
