Once the most promising Nigeria youngster, Isaac Success is gradually putting together a career that was going nowhere in the Serie A with Udinese after a long-drawn slump in the Premier League.
5.Silas Nwankwo
After all the negative press surrounding his age, the NPFL hotshot has knuckled down to open his goals account in Sweden with Mjallby. He came off the bench to score in a 3-0 victory over Sirius. There will certainly be more goals from where that came for the former Nasarawa United star striker.
4. Chidera Ejuke
He was Man of the Match and match winner in a Moscow Derby win for CSKA against second-placed Dynamo. He came off the bench in the 58th minute and nine minutes later he fired the goal that separated the winners from the losers. CSKA are now third in the standings in Russia with 47 points from 26 matches, eight points behind leaders Zenit.
3.Peter Olayinka
Slavia Praha are on course to retaining the Czech championship with Olayinka contributing his own quota in this regard. In midweek the forward delivered his 11th goal in all competitions for his club to go past FC Fastav Zlin 3-0. Double champions Slavia Praha top the league table with 73 points from 30 games. Besides his six goals in the league, he has also netted four goals in Europe and 1 in the Czech Cup.
2.Moses Simon
About this time last season, FC Nantes were battling against relegation but this term they are safe in the top half of Ligue 1 thanks in part to the form of their Nigeria winger Moses Simon. He underlined his fine form by grabbing his fourth goal and eighth assists in the French top league in a 5-3 home win over doomed Bordeaux. The question around Moses Simon now is whether he can make a big-money move outside France this summer after all the speculations sparked off by his heroics at the AFCON in Cameroon?
1.Isaac Success
The former Watford striker looks to have got his career back on track in Italy with Udinese after he scored his second Serie A goal against Bologna. He also delivered an assist in the 2-2 draw. He has now netted two goals and provided seven assists in 20 games after starting nine of them. His talent was never ever in doubt, it was his poor attitude that was the main stumbling block as he transitioned from a schoolboy sensation to a professional in Europe.
