Congrats to Collins and to all the scorers in the last one week.
The Competition among the Super Eagles players is really heating up and keeping our boys in the best form of their lives. Just in the less than a week, up to 6 current squad members hitting the back of the net.

Osimen and Kalu scoring for their respctive teams
On Friday Chukwueze banging the goal
This Weekend, Collins, Olayinka, Ndidi all got the last goal of their clubs
Not to forget other In-active squad members or yet to join members who are not left out of the competition and goal scramble
Kelechi scoring while Umar and Ujah hitting brace for their respective clubs.
Also worthy of mention is the fact that several players like Sheu, Ndidi, Ajayi,Collins, Omeruo, Ekong has played 90 mins of all their matches this season. Meaning they are key members of their squad.
So it is really a great time for our darling Super Eagles.
