Samuel Adegbenro and Raphael Onyedika have continued to kill it in Scandinavia, while Paul Onuachu is back among the goals after firing blanks for several weeks in Belgium.
5.Samuel Adegbenro
The left winger extended his lead at the top of the scorers chart in Sweden after he fired his 16th league goal of the season in a 3-2 home win over title chasers Elfsborg. Again, like Norrkoping previous game versus Mjalby, Adegbenro’s match winner was made in Nigeria as he was assisted by fellow Nigeria star Ishaq Abdulrazak in the closing minutes of this cracking contest.
4.Raphael Onyedika
The young midfielder was the Man of the Match as FC Midtjylland beat home team Randers 3-1. He scored twice and assisted for his team’s third goal as a defensive midfielder. His performances have ensured that fellow Nigerian star Frank Onyeka’s departure to the Premier League did not cause a vacuum at Midtjylland. And at only 20, he most certainly has a bright future ahead of him.
3.Samuel Kalu
The winger was a second half sub and he assisted for the equalizer against Reims, before he caused a penalty that was put away for Bordeaux to fight back and win 3-2 in added time. The win against fellow strugglers Reims has lifted Bordeaux three points clear of the relegation zone.
2.Paul Onuachu
The giant striker scored his 10th goal in the Belgian league to snap off a run of about a month during which he failed to hit the back of the net. He has certainly improved his chances of achieving the big transfer in January as he has been linked with various clubs across Europe and fingers crossed, he should make the move to a major league soon. His successor at Genk will be Ike Ugbo, who has already applied to also play for the Super Eagles.
1.Cyriel Dessers
The Super Eagles striker was the match winner in the Rotterdam Derby win for Feyenoord over city rivals Sparta. He came off the bench midway through the second and delivered the decisive goal in stoppage time. He is most certainly enjoying his loan stint at the Dutch giants even if he has to go with the tag of a Super Sub. He has already netted four goals in the league, matching what he achieved the whole season in Belgium with hometown club Genk.
