Victor Osimhen fired his fifth goal in the Turkish Super Lig, Ademola Lookman opened his La Liga goals account with Atletico Madrid, while fellow Super Eagles star Tolu Arokodare is enjoying his loan spell at Ajax.
5. Christian Nwachukwu
The much-traveled former Golden Eaglets winger played a big part in Azerbaijani club Sabah Baku qualifying for the first time in their history to the group stage of the UEFA Champions League. Nwachukwu scored the home team’s leveller against Hapoel Be’er Sheva of Israel for Sabah to win 5-2 and advance to the Champions League 6-4 on aggregate after they lost the first leg 2-1. The 20-year-old winger may well have found a happy home in Azerbaijan after he previously played in Bulgaria, Turkey and England.
4.Moses Usor
The winger or striker scored a goal and provided an assist for Austrian league and cup champions LASK to also progress for the first time to the money-spinning group stage of the UEFA Champions League at the expense of Scottish champions Celtic. It was a most dramatic comeback for LASK after they lost the first game in Scotland 3-0 a week earlier. Usor is already on the radar of the Super Eagles and his form at his Austrian club this season will certainly go a long way to define his international career.
🚨🇳🇬 Tolu Arokodare is scoring for fun at Ajax 🤩🤩

3.Tolu Arokodare
The big centre-forward is certainly enjoying a new lease of life at Dutch giants Ajax on loan from English club Wolves. On Thursday, he was Man of the Match after he got a brace against FC Sion for Ajax to advance to the group phase of the UEFA Confederation Cup,. He then followed that up with his first goal in the Dutch league in a 4-0 spanking of hosts Telstar. He played the entire 90 minutes for the first time for Ajax. He has now netted four goals in all competitions and already looking very much like he will trigger a permanent transfer away from England by season’s end. Is a Super Eagles recall in the offing?
2.Ademola Lookman
The Super Eagles forward scored his first goal in the new La Liga season for Atletico Madrid when he doubled their lead in a 3-1 win at Sevilla. This should now be the first of many goals for the classy ‘Mola’ in his first full season in Spain. He had previously being played by Atleti as top striker at the height of the transfer saga involving Julian Alvarez so much so that coach Diego Simeone had to apologise for playing him out of position.

1.Victor Osimhen
The Super Eagles star striker was simply unstoppable to score his fifth Super Lig goal of the season as Galatasaray beat Goztepe at home to climb to the top of the standings in Turkey. Osimhen also got an assist and had another effort chalked off for offside. He was energy personified on the night as he fired 15 shots for the highest ever in a single match in Turkey. He has now tallied five goals and two assists. The transfer speculations have not distracted him or cooled his commitment to Gala.
