I heard he is wanted by a midtable Laliga club, but the picture will become clearer in the summer.
He needs the move, our midfield needs Nwakali, Olise, Eze, and maybe Tijani or Onyeka to back up Ndidi.

True.

Should I say our strike force is hotter than Belgium or should just close my mouth sef lipsrsealed

Of course, we trump them in the striking department. Their best is Lukaku and his be in matched by our Simmy who plays in the same league with him, and for the worst team in the league.

Statistically, Mertens, Batshuayi, Benteke et al, have nothing on Moffi, Iheanacho and Osimhen. When you compare their other strikers who play in a lesser fancied leagues to our guys, then we will throw up the likes of Onuachu and Sadiq

Yeah. I'd already known. Its just strange saying that your strike force is better than the best team in the world according to FIFA

Osihmen is still our number 1 striker for now but other strikers are obviously eyeing his position. It's just a healthy competition.

Currently, we arguably have one of the best comtigents of forwards in the world. I would put us in Top 5. I've noticed that pundits like Bleacher Report don't really comment on our players, but people are starting to take notice. Names like Osimhen and Iheanacho have already become household names. Moffi, Simy and Chukwueze are starting to gain stardom in their respective regions. Bit by bit, people are putting the pieces together and are noticing that Nigeria blossoming with talents and producing results each match day weekend.

I disagree bro...azubuike is calm on d ball..hardly play misplaced passes like etebo,awever his marking is a suspect..but when it comes to ball distribution nobody come close to him,not even ndidi when it comes to DM...

Y du u think we lost against Germany in Olympics. ...it was due to his absence..dt midfield couldn't hold his own against Germany.. Mikel had no supporter in d middle dt day..his absense was greatly felt cool

That was Azubuike Okechukwu. I have always been his fan. Yes he was clearly the reason our midfield couldn't hold its own against Germany, but dude has refused to build on that Olympic exploits. We can't keep harping on that because even Etebo was class in that tourney, same thing as Imoh Ezekiel, Shehu and Ekong. But, while Etebo and Ekong have somehow improved, same can't be said of Azubuike, Shehu and Imoh

Osihmen and Napoli have a good opportunity to displace Juventus for the top 4 position.

They even have opportunity for top 3,
All their remaining matches r winnable

They are not needed there when we already have good wingers, we can only think through that lane if our with wingers were not good enough. You can't bench Chuks and or Lookman just to accommodate an extra striker. Playing just two strikers is enough, as we have been doing lately

It should be noted that Moffi has just surpassed Osimhen's Ligue 1 goal tally.

N.B. Osimhen had a shorter season due to COVID-19

Quick Fact

It should also be noted that with 14 goals, Terem Moffi has risen to become the highest scoring African in Ligue 1. If he stays on track, he will be on his way to winning the Marc Vivien Foe Prix which is the highest honor for an African player in Ligue 1.

If he wins, it'll be the second consecutive year that a Nigerian wins the award after Osimhen won it last season.
