Goal machine extraordinaire! I wont be surprised if juventus signs you as a replacement for Ronaldo Lol!
I read an article today where coach rohr was citing the number of strikers in the team and their good performances as reason for simy’s non invitations but on the back of his current forM for his club, the guy deserves a look in. He may not have the dogged ruggedness and raw energy of Victor osimhen but he is clinical and has good positioning. He definitely should be among the top 5 strikers we have in the super eagles based on his form and the league he plays for.
Simy is currently number 3 on seria a top goal scorers this season. The team have bad defense. The team has 2 clean sheets. I remember seeing here about crotone chief Vrenna that Simy was not for sale because Lazio and Udinese was interested in him. He scored 20 goals for promotion, no doubt he will score more than that before the season ends. He is like the Nigerian Lewandowki, I wouldnt be surprised if a German team would try to scoop him or a replacement for Harry Kane for Tottenham. For gosh sakes his team are in relegation zone and he is carrying this trash team on his back
His team is not helping at all…bcos all his efforts re in vein Duo his goals count
Complete Sports should correct this. Simmy has scored 19 goals and not 18. He is not joint third with anyone. Crosscheck your news before putting it out.
I know he will hit the 20 he did with Seria B, in Seria A. Well done Simmy, you deserve all the attention. Breaking Ayegbenis’s and Martin’s record is no mean feet.
Well done CS for prompt correction.
Naija no dey carry last at all at all. Carry go Simy!
…Simy Nwankwo is in no way a lesser striker neither to Osimhen nor Onuachu. Objectively speaking and how much he has proven himself. He should be the third centre forward in the Super Eagles squad. His conversion ratio and maturity in facing goal is simple eclectic. Watch… I believe this guy now die!

…This guy Simy Nwankwo has played in Portugal and now Italy. Coach Gernot Rohr should no longer leave this guy out of any squad announcements. He even seems more mature in his duties than any of our current centre forwards.
How is wish simmy and umar are from my country. Ghana
I
Mofi is from Ghana .how rohr knows.lol
He is? Hmm, his name is peculiar, I was wondering what tribe in Nigeria is his background
