Nigeria strikers again showed up to be counted across Europe this past weekend.
5.Cyriel Dessers
The one-cap Super Eagles striker made a huge impact when he came off the bench to score and make an assist on his Dutch league debut against Feyenoord in a 4-0 thumping of home team PSV Eindhoven. It was a great way to announce his Second Coming to Holland.
4. Emmanuel Dennis
The former Club Brugge forward is most certainly enjoying life in the Premier League after a rather turbulent time in Belgium after he grabbed his second goal to help Watford record their second win of the season. Watford will most certainly need his goals and other contributions to ensure they stay up in the top flight this term.
3.Danjuma
The Lagos-born forward scored a great goal when he came off the bench for Villarreal to hold Atalanta in a UEFA Champions League group game earlier in the past week. He has continued to pay off the record 23 Million Euros the Spanish club paid to sign him from English Championship side Bournemouth. He has already opened his goals account in La Liga with yet another well-taken strike. Will Super Eagles make another push for him to play for them ahead of Holland? He is most deserving.
2.Paul Onuachu
The giant striker netted his fourth goal in the Belgian league to hand Genk a 2-1 win at local rivals Sint-Truiden. This derby match winner followed immediately after his 50th goal for Genk with another match winner at Rapid Vienna of Austria in a UEFA Europe League group match Thursday. He has continued to prove that last season when he scored 35 goals in all competitions was not a fluke and hopefully he could still make the big transfer in January. In the meantime, Genk are happy to keep their “God Sent”.
1.Victor Osimhen
The week under review belonged to the Napoli striker after his brace salvaged a point for his Italian club at Leicester City in a UEFA Europa League group game. Osimhen scored two top-class goals right before the prying eyes of the British media. It was a performance that would have certainly alerted several Premier League clubs to his prowess. Do not be surprised if one of these clubs made an audacious bid for him in January.
