Which Nigerian players are set to sign in the major leagues this weekend?
As club football takes centre stage across Europe, Nigerian stars will be looking to shine in some of the biggest fixtures in LaLiga, Bundesliga, Serie A, and the FA Cup.
PAY ATTENTION: Stay updated with the Latest Soccer News in Nigeria from Pulse Sports
From Chidera Ejuke seeking redemption against Barcelona to Victor Boniface continuing his Bundesliga dominance, the weekend promises action-packed moments for Super Eagles fans. Here’s everything you need to know about Nigeria’s finest talents in action this weekend
Chidera Ejuke — Sevilla vs Barcelona
Super Eagles forward Chidera Ejuke will be seeking a measure of revenge when he takes on Barcelona this weekend in LaLiga.
)
The Nigerian forward’s last game against the Blaugrana came in a 5-1 loss at the Olímpic Lluís Companys, with Ejuke also suffering an injury that kept him out for almost three months.
With Sevilla unbeaten since Ejuke returned, they could look to the Nigerian forward for an impact against Barcelona, hoping to dent the Blaugrana’s title hopes further.
Umar Sadiq — Valencia vs Leganes
Another Nigerian forward hoping to make a splash in LaLiga this weekend is Umar Sadiq, who laboured in vain during Valencia’s Copa del Rey loss to Barcelona.
)
Despite the disappointing loss, Sadiq was praised for his work ethic and endeavour against the Blaugrana, even though he could not find the back of the net.
Facing the prospect of 16th place Leganes, Sadiq will get the chance to showcase his goal-scoring ability against a much weaker side than Barcelona.
Moses Simon — Nantes vs Brest
As talismans go, Moses Simon at Nantes is one of the most consistent examples at the moment, with the Nigerian superstar literally carrying the Canaries on his back.
)
Simon has scored five goals and provided six assists this season and has been involved in almost half of Nantes 24 goals this season.
The Super Eagles star has another chance to show his quality and importance for Nantes when they take on Brest in Ligue 1
Victor Boniface — Wolfsburg vs Bayer Leverkusen
After his recent social media row, Bayer Leverkusen’s Victor Boniface is out to prove his talent as one of the best in Bundesliga.
)
After scoring Bayer Leverkusen’s extra-time winner in their dramatic DFB-Pokal, the Nigerian forward will be hoping to continue where he left off, this time in the Bundesliga.
Boniface and the reigning champions will travel to Wolfsburg, hoping to cut the six-point gap to table-topping Bayern Munich.
Alex Iwobi — Wigan vs Fulham
With no Premier League action this weekend, Alex Iwobi and his Fulham side will turn their attention to the FA Cup, where they will play against Wigan.
)
Iwobi has been impressive for Fulham this season, scoring a career-high seven goals with most of the season still ahead of him.
The Nigerian midfielder will be hoping to guide Fulham to the fifth round of the FA Cup with only Wigan, 16th in the EFL League One, standing in their way.
