Youngster Ilenikhena transfer value shoots up
Lagos-born George Ilenikhena now has a new Transfermarkt value after a very successful debut season in Belgium with Antwerp.
The 17-year-old striker has seen his value shoot to 10 Million Euros this past week, a massive three Million Euros upgrade from the last update.
That makes him the ninth most expensive player in the world of players born in 2006.
Ilenikhena scored eight goals and provided an assist in 28 appearances in the regular season in Belgium.
Antwerp splashed Six Million Euros to sign him last year from French second division club Amiens.
He is still eligible to play for the Super Eagles even though he has represented France at age-grade levels.
