$6m-$7m for Simmy Nwankwo, that’s far too low.His Market value is way above that
I think its because of his all round style of play. He is more of a 18 yardbox predator. He cant out run defenders or dribble past them. He just waits in the box for the ball to come to him and he scores. It may sound simple but he does it with good result. But most teams want a striker that can do more for their team.
Plus his age, 28 I think. He may be scoring goals now but for how long can he keep it up at the highest level.
Someone will say he scored 20 goals in the serie A, a tough and top 5 league.
That should show everyone that no matter the league a player is, with skill, determination, good teamwork, focus and fitness a player can do well in any league.
