“We will try our best as a team at all cost to represent Nigeria well. We want to make our football nation proud and though we are faced with a herculean task, we are looking forward to a better tournament in Senegal I must say.

Villarreal winger, Samuel Chukwueze, has been rated La Liga’s fourth most expensive U21 player.

The Nigeria international valued at £27m according to Transfermarkt.com, is behind Atletico Madrid’s record signing, Joao Felix and Real Madrid’s duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo.

Felix, who joined Atletico from Benfica for a fee of £113m in the summer is the most expensive U-21 player in the Spanish topflight.

Madrid’s duo Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo valued at £63m and £36m respectively are second and third.

The 20-year-old fast-rising star is seen as an invaluable asset by Villarreal and will not be sold unless his £40m release clause is met.

The AFCON bronze medalist is also ranked 56th in the top 100 players valued in La Liga by Transfermarket.com on Wednesday.
