Orban, Iheanacho and Other Nigerians Shine as Super Eagles Selection Debate Grows
Several Nigerian players delivered notable club performances during the weekend, intensifying discussion about Eric Chelle’s latest Super Eagles selections. Gift Orban reportedly scored and assisted as Amed SK beat Besiktas, while Kelechi Iheanacho struck twice for Bursaspor. Samuel Kalu also scored twice for Botev Plovdiv, and Tolu Arokodare found the net shortly after coming on for Ajax. Elsewhere, Calvin Bassey and Alex Iwobi featured for Fulham against Manchester United. Ngozi Okobi-Okechuku scored her first two goals for Ottawa Rapid in Canada, while other Nigerian players featured across Scotland, Turkey, Italy and Germany.
