Iwobi and Bassey’s Fulham may have suffered a 2-1 defeat to Ejuke's new club Sevilla, but the disappointment of the result was overshadowed by the joy of the Nigerian stars' reunion.
Ejuke, who has made an impressive start to his time with Sevilla, retained his starting berth for the LaLiga side, while Iheanacho, another Nigerian and a new arrival for the Spanish club missed out.

Both Iwobi and Ejuke have had outstanding preseasons, with the Fulham midfielder and the Sevilla winger earning individual accolades as their teams' most valuable players.
Ejuke's move to Sevilla this summer as a free agent from Royal Antwerp has been met with much anticipation, and his continued impressive performances have only added to the excitement surrounding the Nigerian talent.
