5 Super Eagles stars to watch out for in Europe this weekend

Osimhen has started the season on fire, scoring four goals in Galatasaray’s first two Super Lig matches.

Another double against Göztepe would put him on course for three consecutive braces from the start of a campaign, a feat no other player has ever accomplished in Turkish League history.

Awoniyi joined newly promoted Coventry this summer and made his debut off the bench in the opening-day defeat to Arsenal.

The Nigerian earned his first start in the League Cup win over Plymouth, and he made it count immediately, bagging a goal that sent a clear message about what he can offer.

Coventry will need his quality to avoid relegation this season.

Not many would have predicted Ruben Amorim converting Samuel Chukwueze into a wing-back, but the Nigerian has taken to the role with remarkable ease.

The 3-4-3 system demands athleticism, something Chukwueze has in abundance. He was outstanding throughout pre-season, registering three assists, and carried that form directly into the opening weekend with another assist.

On the other side of this clash is Akor Adams, who arrives at San Siro with the goalscoring burden of newly promoted Venezia on his shoulders.

The Nigerian striker joined from Sevilla this summer in a club record move and announced himself with a brace on his competitive debut in the Coppa Italia.

He failed to score in last weekend’s Serie A defeat to Lecce, but Adams is exactly the type of powerful, direct centre-forward who can thrive in Italian football.

New Fulham manager Alvaro Arbeloa has wasted no time identifying Alex Iwobi as the heartbeat of his midfield. The Nigerian is a guaranteed starter alongside Sander Berge, and his ability to operate comfortably across multiple positions makes him a key asset.

Last season, Iwobi was Fulham’s most consistent performer, starting all 29 of his league appearances and registering four goals, three assists.
