Soccernet.ng takes a look at five Super Eagles stars to keep an eye on this weekend.
Premier League matchweek 11: 5 Super Eagles players to watch
Alex Iwobi – Fulham
Following Fulham’s dominant 3-0 win over Wolves at Craven Cottage, Marco Silva’s men will travel to the Hill Dickinson Stadium to face Everton, who played out a 1-1 draw against Sunderland last time out.
Iwobi, now a key figure in Silva’s system, will look to continue his influential displays in midfield. His ability to create key passes and unleash surprising shots on goal makes him a vital asset for the Cottagers.
With his consistency and work rate, Iwobi will be aiming to help Fulham build on their last result before heading into the international break.
Tolu Arokodare – Wolverhampton Wanderers
It might come as a surprise if Tolu Arokodare starts for Wolves in their crucial encounter against Chelsea at Stamford Bridge, but the Nigerian forward certainly has a point to prove.
Having already scored twice in the EFL Cup, Arokodare will be eager to grab his first Premier League goal and impress interim boss James Collins.
With Wolves needing an attacking spark, the 24-year-old could be the wild card capable of turning the tide against a solid Chelsea side.
Christantus Uche – Crystal Palace
Since joining Crystal Palace, Christantus Uche has struggled for game time, managing just eight minutes in seven league appearances.
The 22-year-old was an unused substitute in the 2-0 win over Brentford, but reports suggest he is determined to fight for his place at Selhurst Park despite rumours linking him with a return to Getafe.
Uche, who is known for his pace and directness, can be a real threat to Brighton’s defence if handed the chance to feature on Sunday. His hunger makes him a player to watch in this A23 derby.
Taiwo Awoniyi – Nottingham Forest
Awoniyi has endured a quiet spell in front of goal this season, with no goals in three appearances so far. Despite falling down the pecking order behind Igor Jesus, the Nigerian striker remains a potent attacking option for Nottingham Forest.
His physicality and sharp finishing could be decisive when Forest face Leeds United this weekend. Awoniyi will be desperate to rediscover his scoring touch and help his side secure their first win in three matches.
Calvin Bassey – Fulham
Another Fulham player on the radar is Bassey, whose commanding defensive displays have continued to attract praise.
Ahead of Nigeria’s World Cup playoff games, Bassey will aim to show his defensive ability when the Cottagers visit Everton.
Aside from being reliable defensively, the former Ajax FC defender poses a threat during set pieces with his powerful headers.
His performance this weekend could send a clear message to both Fulham and Super Eagles fans about his readiness for upcoming national duties.
