TheCable

With quite a number of top performances over the weekend, TheCable selects the best Nigerian XI.

Adebayo Adeleye – Hapoel Jerusalem Katamon

The young lanky goalkeeper stood between the sticks on his 31st Israeli Leumit appearance and made several key saves to prevent the star studded Maccabi Petah Tikva side from putting the ball past him on several occasions.

Dominic Iorfa – Sheffield Wednesday

Iorfa is gradually announcing himself as a top defender in England with his runs on the lines and superb contribution to Sheffield Wednesday’s recent success.

Felix Agu – VfL Osnabruck

The young left back was exceptional in a game that saw his side whitewash Holstein Kiel 4-1. His contribution to the attack earns him a place in our team of the week.

Tosin Adarabioyo – Blackburn Rovers

Tosin Adarabioyo has worked his way into the starting place for Rovers after his loan move to the club last summer. His consistency in defence and goal secured a win for Rovers against Bristol City.

Kenneth Omeruo – Leganes

The Super Eagles star kept a fine form that saw him dispose his opponents during Friday’s game against Mallorca. His timing tackles and aerial duel wins make him a key figure in our team of the week.

Wilfred Ndidi – Leicester City

Wilfred Ndidi has continued to maintain his status as a midfield general. His performance in the game against Watford earns him a spot in our team of the week.

Rabiu Ibrahim – Slovan Bratislava

Rabiu Ibrahim dazzled against Zilina. His skills was a problem for the opponents. His near perfect performance was capped with a man of the match award.

Oghenekaro Etebo – Getafe

The Super Eagles star was a tough nut to crack against Eibar. He scored his side only goal and gave out a man of the match performance.

Ibrahim Shuaibu – Mjoendalen

Ibrahim Shuaibu’s endurance was a proving factor whenever he is on the ball. The former Giwa FC man was too hot for the Sarpsborg 08 defence.

Bright Edomwonyi – Austria Wien

Edomwonyi’s football experience was brought to bare. His goal for Austria was more than enough to put him ahead of his peers in the league.

Sunday Faleye – Wacker Innsbruck

The striker was too tough to handle against Grazer AK. His runs in the goal area, winning goal and ability to keep defenders at bay earns him a place in our team of the week.
