This feature once again reviews recent performances of Nigerian internationals – Super Eagles stars abroad.
As of the time of this review, since some leagues such as the Eredivise were yet to resume after the festive period, and so a number of these players have not yet to feature for their respective clubs.
Victor Osimehn also tested positive for Covid-19, further delaying his return to action.
Samuel Chukwueze (Villareal)
Chukwueze came off the bench to assist Gerard Moreno for Villarealās second goal in their 2-1 victory over Levante last Saturday.
The winger has seen less game time in recent weeks but makes the most of the opportunities heās given. He showed off his skill again in his side’s victory as he provided an assist. He also registered most shots on target and completed most dribbles in the match despite playing just 45 minutes.
