Victor Osimhen will not be available for the Super Eagles, but South Africa and Benin must still be wary because of the red-hot form of Ademola Lookman, who scored again for his Italian club after his well-documented heroics in the UEFA Europa League final.
5.Abdulmuiz Adeleke
Left-footed striker scored the all-important goal for the Golden Eaglets to win third place of the WAFU B U17 AFCON qualifiers at the expense of hosts Ghana. This baby-faced Assasin finished as his team’s top scorer with four goals to prove that at 16, he still has a bright future ahead of him. He is good technically, packs a decent shot and only needs now to improve on his conversion rate.
4.Henry Offia
The former Flying striker came off the bench to score for Vasteras in an impressive 4-0 win at Kalmar in the Swedish top-flight league. This is his second goal of the campaign. It is also his team’s first win of the new season and that can only galvanise them to move away from the relegation zone.
3.Sunusi Ibrahim
The bulky striker is certainly making the most of his rare starts after he hit target after just 49 seconds for CF Montreal at Philadelphia Union in Major League Soccer (MLS). He has now scored six goals thus far this season. His Canadian club are now unbeaten in three matches.
🇨🇦 TANI OLUWASEYI!@Oluwaseyi_9 is inevitable at this point — the 24-year-old is now up to seven goals on the season and two in his last three matches for @MNUFC, rising highest on a header to deposit this one in!#CanMNT | #CanucksAbroad pic.twitter.com/pcwCk0GgWG

2.Tani Oluwaseyi
Tani Oluwaseyi scored a goal and provided an assist to help his MLS side Minnesota United beat Sporting Kansas City 3-1 in a league game. Oluwaseyi has now scored seven goals thus making him his club’s leading scorer this season. He gave Minnesota United a 1-0 lead in the 33rd minute and went on to assist for his club’s second goal in the 67th minute.
1.Ademola Lookman
He is the man on fire and deserves all the accolades he has received since his sensational hat-trick against undefeated Bundesliga champions Bayer Leverkusen. He scored 11 goals in Serie A to follow up on his 13-goal haul in his debut season in Italy. Both South Africa and Benin must be trembling in their boots because even with CAF Player of the Year Osimhen, the Super Eagles boast a present danger in the electric Atalanta forward.
