Nigeria have some of the finest strikers playing across the globe and headlining the list are Victor Osimhen, Taiwo Awoniyi Emmanuel Dennis, Terem Moffi, Umar Sadiq, Cyriel Dessers among many others but interestingly most of these celebrated strikers did not make the top ten list of Nigeria’s most prolific strikers of the year 2022.
A productive 2022 saw Peter Ebimobowei net 21 goals for Chittagong Abahani in the Bangladesh Premier League. It is incredible, however, that after enjoying such a fantastic year, Ebimobowei is at present without a club.One of Nigeria’s most talented young forwards in Europe at the moment, Victor Okoh Boniface has been one of the revelations of 2022.
Remarkably, twenty of Boniface’s goals have come during the 2022/23 season, including five goals in four UEFA Champions League qualifying matches for Norway’s Bodø/Glimt. Since joining Belgium’s Union Saint-Gilloise, the 21-year-old has added three goals in six Europa League games. And it appears only a matter of time before the Real Sapphire academy product receives his maiden Super Eagles call-up.
Moffi’s goals for Nigeria came in the 2-1 loss to Algeria in a friendly in October and in the victory over Sao Tome and Principe in June, where he netted a brace.Gift Orban has been the rave of the moment in the Norwegian second division – the OBOS-ligaen – where he has smashed in 16 goals and seven assists in only 22 matches for Stabæk Fotball Club.
