Nigeria strikers continue to fire the goals in Europe with Paul Onuachu getting goal No 10 for Genk, while Taiwo Awoniyi netted his first goal for Union Berlin in the German Bundesliga.
5.Maduka Okoye
The Super Eagles goalkeeper posted his second straight clean sheet as Sparta Rotterdam smashed past ADO Den Haag 6-0. This is most certainly a massive confidence booster for the young shot stopper after the fumbles against Sierra Leone in Benin City earlier this month. Close scrutiny will be beamed on Okoye as Nigeria continue to shop for a No 1 goalkeeper.
4. Taiwo Awoniyi
The former U23 striker finally opened his German Bundesliga goals account with Union Berlin as they won 2-1 at Cologne. Union are the third German club Awoniyi has been shipped out on loan by Liverpool.
3.Frank Onyeka
The defensive midfielder was among the goals and even provided an assist for FC Midtjylland to beat Aarhus 2-1. This should be a timely result for the Danish club ahead of a UEFA Champions League clash at Ajax Amsterdam on Wednesday as FC Midtjylland are yet to pick any points thus far in the group stage.
2.Paul Onuachu
The giant striker remains joint top scorer in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League when he netted his 10th goal for Genk against bottom club Mouscron. He has now surpassed his nine-goal tally of last season. He may not be highly thought of by the Super Eagles, but in Belgium he is widely tipped to be crowned Goal King at the end of the season.
1.Ike Ugbo
The Chelsea loanee’s goals continue to keep modest Cercle Brugge going in the Belgian top flight after he grabbed a brace in a 2-0 win at Waasland-Beveren. The striker, who has represented England at various age-group levels, has now scored seven goals in the league and Cercle Brugge are eighth on the table.
