Super Eagles stars Victor Osimhen and Moses Simon will pose serious threat to both Rwanda and South Africa in decisive 2026 World Cup qualifiers in the new week after they again delivered top-class performances for their respective clubs at the weekend.

The exciting young winger came off the bench to score twice and salvage a valuable point for Norwegian club Kristiansund against Brann. His club are only four points outside the relegation zone after 20 rounds of matches.
4.Paul Onuachu
The giant striker may have been overlooked by the Super Eagles for the crucial World Cup qualifiers, but he has got off to a flying start back in Turkey with Trabzonspor. He scored early against Samsunspor with a spectacular diving header to give home team the lead only for the visitors to snatch a draw with a late equalizer.
3.Raphael Onyedika
The Super Eagles midfielder provided an assist for Club Brugge to cruise into the money-spinning group phase of the UEFA Champions League at the expense of Scottish giants Rangers. The top Belgian team are now fighting to keep hold of Onyedika amid transfer speculations as they wish to enjoy another fine run in the Champions League after they reached the quarterfinal last season.
2.Victor Osimhen
The star striker has continued where he left off as he scored his second goal of the league season for Galatasaray to maintain a perfect start with their fourth win in as many games of the new season. His signing has brought stability to the Turkish champions, who will again be expected to outshine city rivals Fenerbache and Besiktas in this campaign.
