Race For 'Nigerian Golden Shoe' : Osimhen Is The Man To Beat (Top Six Players)

Race For 'Nigerian Golden Shoe' : Osimhen Is The Man To Beat (Top Six Players)
Victor Osimhen bagged a brace for Sporting Charleroi in their 2-1 road win against Kortrijk at the Guldensporenstadion on Wednesday evening, cancelling out Imoh Ezekiel's opener in the first half before netting the game-winner nine minutes after the restart.

Following his brace in what could be his final game as a Sporting Charleroi player, the Wolfsburg loanee took his tally for the season to 18 goals from 33 appearances, and is the highest rated Nigerian player in the European Golden Shoe rankings with 27 points.

Osimhen has scored one goal more than FC Midtjylland's Paul Onuachu, who is the second highest rated Nigerian player with 25.5 points.

The Danish-based striker has one final chance to overtake Osimhen in the Golden Shoe rankings, on Sunday when the 2018 champions host Esbjerg.

Osimhen and Onuachu are followed by Galatasaray's Henry Onyekuru and FC Luzern's Blessing Eleke who have sent the ball into the back of the net 14 and 13 times respectively this season.

Though Galatasaray and Luzern have one more game to play in their respective leagues, it is mission impossible for the duo in their bid to surpass Osimhen's goal tally.

Trabzonspor's Anthony Nwakaeme and FC Zurich's Stephen Odey are joint fifth with 22.5 points, having scored ten goals each.

when you shared that tribal bigot of a journalist article as regard IBO GOALiE..
you didn't call it poor journalism.

this one still a bit better...than that article..
I wish I could lay my hands on the journalist that day....

forgiveness:
But there are many who scores and assist despite being workaholic.

sure likewise the effort of a tap in merchants....still being recorded as goals.
I see a tap in merchant as players with good positioning...players who learn to be at the right place at the right time.

forgiveness:
Hmmm! Technical goal. Totally different from a tap in merchant.

I tell you or a workaholic player running round the pitch with no end result

Musa's ability to deliver in another system tells you he still got it in him.
Move Iheanacho to Belgium or that same Russia and see whether he will not hit the ground running.
Football is not what a lot of you here think it is. Players develop these abilities over decades and such abilities cannot just varnish within a twinkle of an eye. Being that Iheanacho does not see much game time doesn't mean he also sits on the bench in Training.

And on the bolded please tell me the Firing players that were the available options.

the few game time he had he misused it...

I doubt oshimen will miss that seater he got against man city...
a monkey in Nigeria will still be a monkey abroad....

you can't draw up the assumption that a player who failed to perform in England will do exceptional in the Belgian league...

the reason for nacho regression is because of indiscipline and he is not self driven... any player with such mindset will barely do well even in Indonesian league.

so how sure...are we that his presence in the super eagles during the AFCON will not go distract other reasonable and hardworking players?
how sure...are we that nacho properly understand the task ahead and is not to go have fun and joke around in Egypt?

I want Rohr to excuse him from the team and pick players who properly understand the task at hand....

none of oshimen and Paul should be dropped for him... this tournament means so much to the above named players and their development

elyte89:
As if I.knew...my mind no dey deceive

As soon as I saw someone arranging man city players with onykuru,I knew someone will say onyekuru is better dan mahrez or sterling or mane


Funny ppu

I want to see Onyekuru is better than Hazard and Neymar before ..I join the trio.

na small thing self...onyekuru for play pass CR7

forgiveness:
I am making you to make use of your head.

Why hasn't Onyekuru trained with common Everton?

hahaha...pls don't compare both.
go to everton sports site to see how the fans fancy Henry...they long to have him in their squad...

had it been not for work permit issues he would go to England next season...

don't compare both...Henry is Everton best players on Loan same can't be said of Koyode

tbaba1234:
Lille, Ajax and Monaco have made contact with Osimhen.

he should go to any of the 3 teams...they're good for his development.

okeniti:
Vehemently disagree. Contrary to popular belief maturity does not come with age. I've come across those in 20's who carry themselves as 40 year olds and those in 40's carry themselves as 20 year olds, even teenagers. Women and Men.

exactly my current girlfriend is less 25 and more matured than the previous ladies who were above 25 I ever had things with.

she is so matured, relieved me of pressure as she is not desperate even though we are currently planning our wedding...
she is someone that makes to see with my two eyes...that ladies do send their men money and support when he is broke because of that I do my best to make sure she lack nothing.
many less 24 years are way nature and responsible than many oldies

Cue4rm:
Honestly, that's if you want peace of mind

I don't agree with this at all...
my current girl will be 24 this year...and she is more matured and well behaved than the way above 25 years old ladies I have previously gone after...or dated.

some persons tend to be mature than their age and know what they want at a very early stage....

just look for a matured mind to date and don't be carried away by their ages...

darkelf:
Gbam. WOOOOOOORRRRDDDDDD

seeing nacho on that list makes me angry ehhh.

gamaliel9:
UP ON TILL NOW..I HAVE BEEN ASKING MYSELF...WHY DID GUARDIOLA BUY KAYODE?

just to prevent Newcastle from getting him...and ignorance made the guy fall for the ploy....

bigomoh:
Osimhen with a brace away against Ezekiel Imoh's Kortrijk..60min+ Imoh also on the score sheet.

a player who had injury scare just few days back doing wonders....
and one guy who choosed to miss a seater against man city... have gone hire a personal trainer all to make the final squad at the expense of reasonable and hardworking players....

nah...it won't come to pass...it is impossible.
the super eagles will never fall for such fluke

elyte89:
All dis fake misses,some get d guy phone number o, cos from previous comment on dis thread,i realized some ppu created whatsapp group from dis thread,just to spend 10naira hear from d guy and ask aw far,dem begin come here dey fake miss ,nija ppu I hail

Lol...true.
I think I saw something like that...
they should call or message him nah.
I don't mind call him if need be or even message him.

Icon4s:
God forbid!
Please you don't joke with such things

please can you put a call across to him pls. I think some of you here have his phone number.

Skyfornia:
What is her crime again?...this cannot happen in Nigeria.
Almost every hospital in Nigeria conduct morning devotion at least once every week...praying, praising, dancing and singing to God.

and still our corruption and wickedness stick to high heavens

i think this CAF folks are putting the likes of africa players at risk
we are currently at a time when ISIS have moved their base to
africa even at alliance nigeria terrorist groups and now instead of giving
south africa the hosting right they choosed egypt, same egypt not free
from terrorism attacks and bombings,

i just pray the africa players and their fans stay safe

mostob:
when Rohr no chop weed. Simon and Awaziem must not be drop . I will rather drop Aina and Kelechi.

a player who featured all season for Torino, you wanna drop him?
Aina is making that team list, i agree with you on Nancho but you
the lad don go employ personal trainer just to scam Rohr to make
he list.....

i wish he had his senses back after missing the afcon

Clementoke:
Owngoal reports that Iheanacho has gotten himself a personal trainer in a bid to gate-crash the final 23 man list

naughty boy...had it been he had the personal trainer prior the man city match...
he would have score that goal.
his Miss gift man city league...I am still angry with him for that miss...
now he wanna gatecrash afcon because it has become obvious to him that he is deteriorating

forgiveness:
Did miss any chance?

Lol...he didn't miss any... but oshimen picked up none chances to awoniyi and used it...to get an hatrick

Joebie:
The case of Onuachu is that when he got his chance, he grabbed it with both hands.

exactly...that goal against Egypt was his saving grace...
I pray he lives up to expectations in camp and same with oshimen

Icon4s:
Our midfield of Ndidi, Mikel, Etebo and Ogu can cope well. This is AFCON and not World Cup

exactly and with the upcoming under 20 and 23 tourneys I am sure...we will get new recruits after the afcon for the midfield...and defense.

the problem is the goal keeping department...

I will want rohr to use EZENWA in afcon...

uzoho have lost it... that guy is not ready..
hopefully maduka and any of the under 20 goalies proved themselves to move up to the super eagles

Icon4s:
The way you guys under-rate Nigeria sef . Issorite.

Chief I am not underating Nigeria... but the super eagles...playing Egypt' in Cairo na fear ooo. that day I go peel for my pant...
you know the home fans and intimidating atmosphere... I just pray we don't play them early enough

forgiveness:
I just pity those players that chooses to play for England instead of Nigeria.

exactly.... I still feel Tammy will get some caps for England sha.
but should be exceed 24 years and no call ups...he should find himself to blame...

andrew444:
Bros but even if salah played they won't still beat Saudi Arabia

Argentina that relied on Messi struggled to win games so Egypt that use to rely on salah will be worst

everyone is rating Egypt because of their home fans...if you watched the way these guys celebrated the world cup qualification ehh.
with that kind of fans...@ the stadium the opponent will be intimidated.

I just pray any of ivory coast, Ghana and Senegal can help us eliminate Egypt because the super eagles will struggle to play a draw under such atmosphere...

Bossoflife25:
Agreed!!
Quite unfortunate!
I do hope Okoye and Zaccalla will step up to the challenge in no distant time.

to be honest with you...I see those two lads
as a Long term solution to our goal keeping problem....

getting an home based goal keeper...self driven and motivated like Enyeama gonna take a while....
so for now maduka and especially Zaccala for the 17 years old to convince Agboigun means he is good.

forgiveness:
That's a good one.

This English just dey greedy.

I tell you and they won't play them oooh.
ask yourself bro...how many players go fit play for 3 lions at a time...
check immediately a player click beyond 23 and he didn't get 3 lions call up...it will be very difficult to fetch it afterwards...

reason why many start changing their national allegiance...afterwards to their parents country like zaha and co

forgiveness:
FC Midtjylland is an obscure club in an obscure league. Only an ignoramus will rate FC Midtjylland ahead of Young boys and Red bull Salzburg.

same club almost knocked out man united from the Europa some seasons ago....
moreover Paul's Is even like the 2nd choice striker for us self...

andrew444:
How many Ajax player ? Only 1 Ajax players and you are making it look like they have a defender midfielder and striker from there also

So you value young boys and red bull Salzburg ?

But I am sure if rohr call up a player from there you will be here crying about how the league is Lower than awoniyi and kayode league

You value those teams winning their league but you won't value mitjyland being a champions also

Did standard Leige won their league ? I am not sure

Afcon is harder now with 24 teams

Yes cameroun won the last afcon that shows African teams are nothing to write home about .

That's why all of them disgraced their self at the World Cup and someone will also not let me hear word about Egypt that can't beat Saudi Arabia

Lol...you made me laugh so hard....

Egypt played that terrible because there was no sallah on the peace, he was Shadow of himself in that match...they are like the Libya team without salah.

but your first lines really stroke Forgiveness sha.... I can't rate some of those teams ahead of Paul's team in Denmark...not at all.

Fidha254:
You guys have dated for two whole years and you still go through her phone reading her conversations. If you still don't trust your girl after 3 months theirs no point in dragging out the r/ship, life's too short to be in a r/ship where there is no trust or mutual respect.

people change pls...
someone may change with time... so you never can tell.... I rarely hide anything from my partner but she hiding things from me...especially her relations with guys...leaves me worried...

sanmtiago:
I’m stucked guys,some say all ladies are cheats,some debunk it and say not all! Now I have a girlfriend she doesn’t cheat,that I know but some people still tell me bro no trust woman oh

bro...women are mysterious.
I had an issue with my girlfriend too...
she picked a guy's call at odd hours...
I called her before but my airtime got finished. ...only to call again...and saw my call waiting for minutes...she later flashed me to call back..I asked her who was that..
she was talking to...because she now wants me to end the call quickly for her to sleep...I asked who was she talking to earlier...she was beating around the bush...making jokes
only to later say it was a friend...I asked her to tell me about the guy...she started making jokes...which does not make sense...to me...because I feel if there is nothing going on she should have bluntly say it....and tell me who the guy was....
I used to tell her every lady I relate with....

I was really downcast..sometimes I just fear Nigeria ladies...to be honest.
