Nigeria internationals Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi have both reached their highest market values following an outstanding season with Leicester City.

According to the latest market value updates published by Transfermarkt on Tuesday, June 8, Ndidi has a price tag of 60 million euros and Iheanacho is rated at 20 million euros.
