Gift Orban and Bamidele Yusuf were outstanding and decisive in victories for their respective clubs as they continue to knock on the door of the Super Eagles.
5.Samuel Kalu
The former Super Eagles winger scored a brace for Botev Plodiv to win 3-0 at FK Septemvri and push them to sixth position on the table of the Bulgarian top-flight league. He was Man of the Match with Sofascore rating of 9.0 points. He now has netted three goals and made two assists in the league. This 29-year-old talented forward has certainly reinvented himself after more than a year without a club and it won’t now be a surprise should he be back in a major league in Europe soon.
4.Tolu Arokodare
He celebrated his recall to the Super Eagles after he was snubbed for the 2025 AFCON by coming off the bench to rescue Ajax from an embarrasing home defeat by Excelsior. He was subbed in on 62 minutes and two minutes later scored the equaliser for Ajax to salvage a 2-2 draw in front of their home fans. Ajax are now fifth in the standings in Holland with 14 points after seven rounds of matches. They are three points behind table toppers Feyenoord.

2.Gift Orban
He is the joint leading scorer in the Turkish Super Lig with seven goals and two assists along with the legendary Mo Salah and ahead of Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen. His screamer – a ballistic missile from 30 metres out – inspired the home team to beat Besiktas 3-2, while his pace and tenacity worried the other team all night long. His promoted club Amedspor also sit proudly on the top of the league going into the extended international break.What can really be done for him to finally make his deserved debut for the Super Eagles? He will be God-sent in coach Eric Chelle high-intensity pressing game.
1.Bamidele Yusuf
The winger scored a goal and created the other two goals for Hungarian club Ferencvaros to stop Scottish double champions Celtic 3-1 in a Europa League group game. That would make him Man of the Match with a Sofascore rating of 9.0 points. he was decisive in his team’s qualification to the group phase of the Europa League after he scored one of the goals in the 4-0 bashing of Turkish giants Trabzonspor complete with the great Mo Salah. His quality and consistent at the top level now need to be rewarded with a call-up to the Super Eagles as coach Eric Chelle ushers in a new era for the national team.
