5.Mubarak Suleiman
The youngster scored again for Czech champions Slavia Praha in a final day 3-0 thrashing of Viktoria Plzen. The attacking midfielder from Right2Win Academy in Nigeria has shown in his first season of senior football that he is certainly one for the future with his goals from midfield as well as overall play.
4.Fisayo Dele-Bashiru
The Super Eagles midfielder scored his first Serie A goal of the season on the final day and it was worth waiting for. He made a smart turn inside the box before he drilled his shot beyond the diving Pisa goalkeeper to inspire a comeback win for Lazio. It is now left to be seen whether he will stay put at the Italian club as he does not appear to have a future there under the current coach Maurizio Sarri.
3.Semi Ajayi
The Super Eagles defender was solid as unfancied Hull City set up an organised backline to keep out Middlesbrough before they delivered a back-breaking winner in stoppage time to book their passage back to the Premier League nine years after they were relegated. He also won promotion to the Premier League with West Bromwich Albion in the 2019/2020 season. It has been a change for fortune for Ajayi after West Brom did not give him a new contract and he had to join Hull City as a free agent. The former Arsenal Academy graduate will again play in the Premier League after he did so with West Brom.
2. Kelechi Iheanacho
Forgotten Super Eagles star is back in top reckoning after he scored in the Scottish Cup final for Celtic to seal a league and cup double in a most turbulent campaign that saw them change managers. His class is undoubted and after a slow start at Celtic, ‘Seniorman’ has won himself a future at the Glasgow giants. Celtic have the option to give him a new contract after he signed as a free agent 10 months ago from Spanish club Sevilla. It would be a big mistake if they don’t.
1.Paul Onuachu
The giant striker ended Trabzonspor losing run in the Turkish Cup finals with two goals against Konyaspor in this year’s final. His club had lost the last two cup finals, but Onuachu ensured he halted this poor run with the goals to give them their 10th cup triumph. He was named the Man of the cup final and he ended the season with 26 goals in all competitions. Fans will now expect him to finally translate such form to the Super Eagles.
