Micheal Essien is the most expensive, but that's because Chelsea overpaid for him.  Right now, the African player that is most valuable is Samuel Eto'o.  He has been the best striker in Spain for the last 2 years and is one of the reasons why Barcelona is arguably the best team in Europe.  Eto'o is also the best player that will not be going to the World Cup, because his Cameroon did not qualify.

At this day and age, Ronaldinho (barcelona,) but if you mean ever, there's no question at all that it's Pele. Actually, i think Pele is the most prized athlete period- in the history of any sport ever!!

I am not sure but I think it is Nicolas Anelka. Since he began his playing career in 1995, he has played for 8 clubs, not including his second stint at club Paris Saint-Germain. I think he also has, if i am not mistaken, the highest total for career transfer fees, standing at 69.8 million pounds.\n\nYears             Club \n1995-1997       Paris Saint-Germain\n1997-1999       Arsenal\n1999-2000       Real Madrid\n2000-2002       Paris Saint-Germain\n2001-2002       Liverpool\n2002-2005       Manchester City\n2005-2006       Fenerbahçe\n2006                Al-Emarat\n2006-Present  Bolton Wanderers

It depends what you mean by best footballer \n\nI would say Roy Keane as he is probably the most gifted player to be currently playing in the SFL - However players like Nakamura, Petrov, Buffel even Maloney & Riordan would command a higher transfer fee currently and probably possess more skill than Keane but Keane is by far a better all round player than all these.

the best player of the moment is definitely ronaldinho of brazil / fc barcelona. but if we're talking about the best active player today then it has to be zinedine zidane of france / real madrid. zidane, however, is in the twilight of his incomparable career while ronaldinho is in his prime.
