Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has got the whole of Italy and beyond talking after he crowned an eventful October with his first-ever Serie A treble – five goals and the birth of his daughter all packed in just a month.
5.Peter Olayinka
The Super Eagles forward should be pressing for a recall to the national team on the back of his goals for Czech champions Slavia Praha. He celebrated his 100th league appearance with a brace and an assist for his team to overrun Bohemians 1905 4-1 in a local derby. Slavia Praha thus remain hot on the heels of leaders Viktoria Plzen in the championship race.
4.Mathias Oyewusi
Little known Oyewusi scored a brace for Lithuanian club FK Zalgiris Vilnius to record a heart-warming 2-2 draw at UEFA Europa Conference League group leaders FC Basel in Switzerland. His club remain bottom of the standings with five points but could improve their points haul in the competition with a home win over Slovan Bratislava in a final game on Wednesday. The 23-year-old Oyewusi has also netted six goals in 18 appearances for Zalgiris to top the league.
3.Ademola Lookman
He scored for the fourth straight game in Serie A as Atalanta bounced back in style for a 2-0 home loss to Lazio to win at Empoli. He also assisted for his team’s opening goal and posted another eye-catching individual performance. With five goals and three assists so far, he has already proved to be a shrewd signing by the Italian club.
2.Samuel Chukwueze
He scored his third goal in the UEFA Europa Conference League for Villarreal to draw 2-2 with Israeli club Hapoel Be’er Sheva. Villarreal have already booked their place in the quarterfinal of the competition with 13 points and a match to spare as closest rivals Lech Poznan of Poland are seven points adrift.

1.Victor Osimhen
The Super Eagles star striker has returned from an injury layoff with a big bang. He followed up his sensational match winner at AS Roma to grab his first hat-trick against Sassuolo in the league with Napoli. Five of his seven Serie A goals were scored in October. The Naples club are also five points clear at the top of the table and already expectations are growing that this will be the season that they conquer Italy again, 32 years since their last triumph inspired by the great Diego Maradona. The goals of the Super Eagles star will be crucial in this latest chase for the Scudeto.
