Goals with Ajax have got Tolu Arokodare back in the Super Eagles nest for a 2027 AFCON double-header against Tanzania, but both Kelechi Iheanacho and Cyriel Dessers are not that lucky even with their goals in Turkey and Greece, respectively.
5.Dapo Afolayan
The 29-year-old striker scored what eventually proved to be the match winner for Blackburn Rovers at home against troubled West Ham in the English Championship. He has now fired six goals for Rovers, who are now up to 13th in the standings with 21 points from 15 matches, just four points outside the promotion playoffs bracket. Can Afolayan still dream Super Eagles?
4. Cyriel Dessers
The much-traveled striker grabbed his 10th goal of the season for Panathinaikos as they won 2-1 at Iraklis. He has most certainly put behind the injury worries he suffered at the start of a new life in Greece and now he is banging in the goals regularly. However, he has again been overlooked by Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle for the forthcoming AFCON qualifiers against Tanzania. His club Pana though are now four points clear at the top of the table in Greece, ahead of bitter rivals Olympiacos.
3.Tochukwu Nnadi
The former Flying Eagles midfielder has finally found his mojo in the French Ligue 1 with Olympique Marseille. Visitors Marseille won 2-1 at RC Lens with Nnadi playing the entire game. Sofascore awarded him an impressive 7.1 points on the night. His return to top form has prompted his recall by the Super Eagles. Marseille are now fourth in the standings with 18 points from 10 matches, five points behind leaders PSG.

2.Kelechi Iheanacho
The 30-year-old striker scored his 17th goal in the league for Bursaspor to draw at Antalyaspor in the Turkish second division. he has said he wishes to become a legend at this proud Turkish club and he is doing so with his goals week after week. Bursaspor remain top of the table with 32 points from 14 games, two points ahead of their closest challengers. Target of course is a return to the Super Lig at the end of the season and with ‘Senior Man’ maintaining his form in front of goal, that would be guaranteed. But it appears that Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle is not impressed and so has left him out of the squad against Tanzania even though Victor Osimhen is ruled out due to injury.
🚀 IHEANACHO DURDURULAMIYOR! 14 MAÇTA 17 GOL! Kelechi Iheanacho, Antalyaspor karşısında da golünü atarak müthiş formunu sürdürdü. Tecrübeli forvet, çıktığı son 14 maçta 17 gole ulaşarak dikkatleri üzerine çekti! https://t.co/ul2FSqP6Ve

1.Tolu Arokodare
This past week certainly belonged to the big striker. He shone in the UEFA Conference League with a brace and an assist, before he followed that up with another goal in a 2-2 draw at FC Twente in the Dutch top league. Arokodare has now scored in the last five matches, tallying 13 goals and four assists in 17 appearances thus far. Ajax can make his loan deal permanent by forking out 20 million euros and it is understood that they are working on this already. In the meantime, Arokodare has been handed another chance to fly with the Super Eagles against Tanzania during the international break. Will he make the most of it as he has turned around his career with the Dutch giants?
