From Alex Iwobi’s stellar form at Fulham to Moses Simon’s brilliance for Nantes, these Super Eagles stars are ready to light up the pitch for their clubs.
Alexi Iwobi — Fulham vs Ipswich
Few Super Eagles stars are in better form than Fulham’s Alex Iwobi at the moment, with the ex-Arsenal midfielder enjoying a new lease of life under Marco Silva.
)
Iwobi has put on show-stopping performances for Fulham against some of the Premier League’s best, and against minnows Ipswich, he could turn up the style as the Cottagers look to make it eight league matches in a row without defeat.
Fisayo Dele Bashiru — Roma vs Lazio
Since his loan move to Lazio from Hatayspor in the summer, Fisayo Dele Bashiru has struggled to nail down a starting spot in Serie A, but his showing against Atalanta would surely have impressed manager Marco Baroni.
)
With Lazio facing their biggest game of the season in the Derby della Capitale against Roma, the Nigerian midfielder could be in line for a rare start and another chance to impress on a grand scale.
Sadiq Umar — Valencia vs Real Madrid
The former Olympic Games star has taken the big step to end his nightmare spell at Real Sociedad after sealing a move to Valencia, initially on loan with an option for a permanent signing.
After completing his move, Umar’s first game could be a daunting task, with Valencia facing Real Madrid in the Nigerian’s potential first game for Los Che. While fitting Umar into the team so soon after signing will be tricky for Valencia, the forward could provide a key attacking option for Los Che against Los Blancos.
Moses Simon — Lille vs Nantes
After recently being crowned the Nantes Player of the Month for December, Super Eagles star Moses Simon will be hoping to start the new year off with a bang when the Canaries play against Lille.
)
The Nigerian winger has been named Player of the Month twice already this season after four goals and five assists in 14 games for Nantes and will be key to the Canaries' survival in Ligue 1.
Paul Onuachu — Southampton vs Brentford
Super Eagles’ 6-foot-7-inch striker has yet to net his first goal for Southampton after 23 matches, but he came close on several occasions in the Saints’ recent loss to West Ham.
)
With each new game, Onuachu looks closer than ever to finally breaking his duck and has another chance when Southampton host Brentford, who have lost seven of their last nine away games, conceding 16 goals in the process.
