Super Eagles stars Jerome Akor Adams, Victor Osimhen, Samuel Chukwueze as well as Cyriel Dessers are already up and firing in Europe.
5. Stanley Iheanacho
The former Golden Eaglets has this past week proved his pre-season form is not a fluke with two goals in as many matches. First, he hit target for Danish club FC Midtjylland to beat Bohemians 3-2 at home to reach the playoffs of the UEFA Conference League and then he again came off the bench to score the opening goal in a 1-1 draw at Lyngby in the league. His club now face Rijeka of Croatia for a place in the mini-league stage of the Conference League.

4. Cyriel Dessers
The Super Eagles striker came off another long injury layoff to score the decisive extra-time goal for Panathinaikos to win 2-1 and reach the playoffs of the UEFA Conference League. Pana got through 3-2 on aggregate against CSKA Sofia of Bulgaria after both teams played a 1-1 draw in Greece.
3.Samuel Chukwueze
The winger playing more like a wing back in a new AC Milan team under coach Ruben Amorim was unplayable as the Italian giants fought back from a goal down to win this high-profile friendly at Manchester United 4-2. Chukwueze slotted home the equaliser before he provided two assists to crown a five-star display.
2.Victor Osimhen
Champions Galatasaray were saved their blushes by their super star striker, when he scored twice including a late equaliser for them to hold promoted Corum FK to a 2-2 draw at home on the opening day of the new Super Lig season. Osimhen again proved just how valuable he is for the Istanbul giants, who will be gunning for a fifth straight championship in this new campaign. It also explained why Galatasaray insist the player is not for sale despite tempting offers like the 130 million euros from Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia.
1.Jerome Akor Adams
The big striker announced his arrival in Italy in super style with two goals and an assist as Venezia came from behind to eliminate Modena in the Round of 64 of the Copa Italia. He has certainly began paying off the huge transfer fee the promoted Serie A club splashed on him to quit La Liga club Sevilla. The real business for him though would be to get the goals for the club to stay up in the Italian top flight.
