Super Eagles: Who tops Nigeria’s goalscorer chart this weekend?

This shows how Nigeria’s attackers are getting more attention around the world, as many Super Eagles forwards keep scoring in Europe.

Everything looks promising for the Super Eagles—from Turkey to England to Germany—despite earlier international setbacks.

Victor Osimhen, despite Galatasaray’s 2-nil victory to go clear at the top of the EPL table, has netted 21 goals in 25 league games, totaling 29 goals in 34 matches for the Turkish giants. This has presented him as one of Africa’s most valuable strikers.
