Nigeria’s two top stars Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman prove their class again for their respective clubs in Europe as the leagues hit the business end.
5.Raphael Onyedika
The Super Eagles midfielder is on track for his most successful season in Europe as Club Brugge are closing in on a league and cup double in Belgium. He played 74 minutes for Club Brugge to beat Anderlecht and win the Belgian Cup Sunday. And now with three rounds of matches to the end of the league season, Club Brugge are just a point behind Union St.Gilloise in the Championship Playoffs. They are the popular favourites to retain their league title.
4.Ibrahim Olawoyin
The former Enugu Rangers midfielder scored a goal and assisted for the other as Rizespor beat Gaziantep 2-0 in the Turkish Super Lig. It has been an eventful season for Olwoyin as he has now netted four goals and made six assists. Last year, he earned his first Super Eagles call-up and he could now be due a recall.
3.Cyriel Dessers
The striker opened scoring for Rangers in the Old Firm Derby against bitter rivals Celtic. It was his 13th goal in the league. He has thus far netted 25 goals across all competitions this season. Both Dessers and Rangers will not be celebrating as it was another campaign where Celtic dominated from start to finish.
2.Ademola Lookman
After going two months and eight matches without a goal, the reigning African Player of the Year is on back on the scoreboard. He fired his 19th goal of the season for Atalanta to increase their lead at Monza in the Italian Serie A. The big win on the road has cemented third place in the standings for Atalanta with three rounds of matches to the end of the season. The other issue for ‘Mola’ is where he will play next season as he continues to be linked with several top clubs across Europe after it has been mutually agreed he could leave this summer.
Lookman Ademola scores Atalanta's third goal with a vicious left foot strike past Monza's hapless keeper.

The goal, his 14th so far in Serie A, showed his trademark pace, stamina, and precision finishing.

1.Victor Osimhen
The Super Eagles striker scored twice for Galatasaray to thrash Sivasspor 4-1 to consolidate their leadership position in the Turkish Super Lig. He has now achieved a new personal goals record of scoring 32 goals in a single season. The icing on the cake was that closest rivals Fenerbache were upset 1-0 at home by city rivals Besiktas for Galatasaray to now enjoy an eight-point lead at the top of the table with six rounds of matches to the end of the season. Like Ademola Lookman, he will also have to decide on his future this summer as speculations continue where he will take his shooting boots to.
