Several Super Eagles stars again proved their class across Europe at the weekend, from Jerome Akor in the Spanish La Liga to Maduka Okoye in the Italian Serie A and Moses Simon in the French Ligue 1.
5.Frank Onyeka
The Super Eagles posted a decent shift for Coventry City to virtually book their promotion back to the Premier League after a 26-year absence. He was on the park for 82 minutes and was awarded a personal score of 6.9 points in an crucial goalless draw with Sheffield Wednesday. He has certainly made the most of his loan spell at Coventry from Brentford and he is now expected to make this transfer permanent so that in the new season he will be playing regularly again in the English top flight.
4.Moses Simon
The racy winger assisted one of the goals for Paris FC to trounce visiting AS Monaco 4-1 to further ease any fears that they will be relegated after making their way to the French top league for this season. Simon has now provided three assists and as many goals in this campaign for his new club. Paris are 12th in the standings with 35 points, 11 points clear of the relegation zone with five rounds of matches to the end of the regular season.
3.Alhassan Yusuf
The mercurial Super Eagles midfielder got his second goal of the new MLS season and it proved to be the match winner as New England Revolution won their second straight game against DC United. Scoring goals has been the biggest shortcoming of this hardworking player, but it seems he has been working at it to get on the scoresheet more often.

2.Maduka Okoye
The goalkeeper pulled off three big saves in a shock 3-0 win at AC Milan to record his third straight clean sheet. His previous other clean sheets were in the goalless draw at Como and the 2-0 win at Genoa. He is the undisputed No 1 for Udinese and will certainly be the sure bet for the Super Eagles starting shirt going into the summer as Stanley Nwabali has yet to sort his club future.
1.Jerome Akor
The big striker fired his eighth goal of La Liga when he tucked away a penalty for Sevilla to finally end a poor run of results that had caused angry fans to confront the team on the back of a loss at bottom team Real Oviedo. The 26-year-old striker has now scored eight goals and made three assists this season. New coach Garcia Plaza Luis said he believes there is more to come from the big centre-forward. The 2-1 win at Atletico Madrid has now lifted them two points clear of the drop zone. They are 16th on the table with 35 points from 31 matches with seven rounds of matches to the end of the season.
