On Saturday, the 32-year-old forward recorded his seventh goal for Trabzonspor to stop Antalyaspor 2-1 in a Turkish Super Lig clash.
This season, Nwakaeme has been something of a talisman for Trabzonspor as except for one game they do not lose when he scored or assisted a goal.
The match was a 4-3 loss to Kasimpasa when he scored twice and provided an assist for one of his team’s goals, but they still went down.
He has now scored seven goals with seven assists. He has also lost seven games due to illness or injury.
