This past week was one to remember as Super Eagles stars, from Chidera Ejuke to Victor Osimhen, showed class across the world of football.
5. Chidera Ejuke
The dribbling wizard came off the bench to score his first goal of the new Spanish La Liga season as Sevilla shot past Athletic Club Bilbao 3-1. It was a top-class finish by the tricky winger as he chipped over the onrushing goalkeeper to double his team’s lead. His future at Sevilla has come under speculations because he is in the last year of his contract and the La Liga would do with some cash by selling rather than to lose him when he has ran out his stay.
🇳🇬⚽ Chidera Ejuke scored the second goal for Sevilla with a wonderful chip, to become the first Nigerian in the Spanish La Liga to score a goal this season.

4. Samuel Chukwueze
This is another Super Eagle who has found a new lease of life at his Italian club AC Milan. He was Man of the Match when AC Milan won 2-1 at Torino with him providing the assist for the winning goal in the second half. He is flying in his new role as a right wing back and long may it continue.
3.Victor Osimhen
The Super Eagles star striker has now fired four goals in two Super Lig matches after his second straight brace at Erzurumspor for Galatsaray to win 4-0 on the road. The 26-time Turkish champions have reportedly turned down a staggering 150 million euros bid from Al Hilal of Saudi Arabia for the striker and the reason is obvious – he alone has been carrying this team for many months.
1 asistinin yanında 2 golle gecenin yıldızı oluyor, maskesini çıkartmaya devam ediyor.

2.Alhassan Yusuf
The midfielder has been accused of not scoring goals, but he has now risen to the challenge in style after he fired his first-ever hat-trick for New England Revolution to beat DC United 3-0 in the MLS. He has now netted five goals, the most he has scored in his entire career overseas. The rewards have been MLS Player of the Week and making the official Team of Matchday 21.
1.Semi Ajayi
After returning through the back door to the Premier League after nine long years, Hull City continued the partying by winning their opening game of the new season against Manchester United in front of over 24,000 fans. And Semi Ajayi was one of the main reasons for this celebration after he scored the team’s first goal to inspire a heart-warming 2-0 home win. The Super Eagles defender was the Man of the Match for that historic goal as well as a solid shift in the heart of defense.
