Nigeria footballers leading the way
Players that come from Nigeria are skillful, persistent, and ambitious to win trophies wherever they go. They are also popular among the fans for their personalities away from the game. Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is attracting significant attention for his recent performances in Italy, with Chelsea and Manchester United hoping to sign a striker in the summer. The 24-year-old has helped his team move 13 points clear at the top of Serie A with 17 goals in all competitions this season which has understandably peaked the interest of many top clubs. ARSENAL could cash in on Folarin Balogun in the summer despite the striker currently outshining Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe in France. Chuba Akpom brace at the weekend helped Boro collect a tenth league win in 14 games under Michael Carrick, with the Boro forward moving to 16 league goals for the season. It leaves him just four shy of 20 league goals, with Slaven the last Boro player to reach that milestone for the club, 33 years ago in 1989-90. Balogun, 21, is the leading scorer in Ligue 1 with 14 goals for Stade de Reims. Former Nigerian forward, Jonathan Akpoborie says he’s confident Super Eagles striker, Paul Onuachu will grab the headlines in the English Premier League with his goals.
