5.David Okereke
The forward notched his second Serie A goal of the season when he came off the bench to make a huge impact for US Cremonese to shoot down nine-man Pisa 3-0 and boost their chances of staging The Great Escape in the relegation battle in Italy. Sofascore awarded late substitute Okereke the Man of the Match with a rating of 7.9 points. Pisa and Verona have both already been relegated from Serie A, while the third team to be demoted will be a straight fight between Cremonese and Lecce with two rounds of matches to the end of the season. Okereke’s club are 18th in the standings with 31 points, while Lecce are a spot above and currently safe on 32 points.
4.Maduka Okoye
The Super Eagles shot stopper became the first Nigerian to record 10 clean sheets in the Italian Serie A when Udinese won 2-0 at Cagliari. He is also the first Nigerian to reach double-digit shutouts in the Top 5 European leagues since the legendary Vincent Enyeama got 17 clean sheets for Lille in the 2014/2015 season. Thanks to Okoye’s heroics between the sticks, Udinese now occupy a decent ninth position on the table with two rounds of games to be played and can look forward with confidence to another solid campaign in the Italian top flight next season.
3.Sadiq Umar
The 29-year-old striker again made a big impact in Valencia fight to stay up in the Spanish La Liga after he came off the bench to score the match winner at Athletic Bilbao. He got a 7.5 points rating by Sofascore as his club are now 12th on the table with 42 points and five points clear of the drop zone with two rounds of matches to go. His goals have boosted Valencia survival hopes since his second arrival in January to crown him an inspired signing by this club.
2.Jerome Akor
The big Super Eagles striker came off the bench to score his ninth La Liga goal for Sevilla to come from behind to beat Espanyol in this relegation battle. This hard-fought home win has lifted Sevilla to 13th position in the standings with 40 points, three points outside the relegation zone and with two rounds of matches to the end of the season. Sofascore rated Akor 7.6 points from his latest heroics.

1.Victor Osimhen
This past week belonged to unstoppable Super Eagles striker as he fired a late brace for Galatasaray to win their fourth straight and 26th overall Super Lig championship in Turkey. It is Osimhen’s second championship with ‘Gala’ to further cement his place in the history of the Istanbul giants. He scored 15 goals and made five assists in 22 appearances for the newly-crowned champions in this campaign. The big question now is – will he make the big transfer this summer from Galatasaray? Galatasaray want double what they spent to sign him from Napoli last summer and his hefty annual salary of 21 million euros net could be another hurdle for interested clubs, from Barcelona to PSG.
