TheCable

TheCable’s team of the week returns with some fascinating names included. These players earned their places on the back of scintillating performances for their various clubs in Europe.

This week’s team is an attacking one with three strikers — namely; Simy Nwankwo, Cyriel Dessers and Samuel Nnamani — and set up in a 4-3-3 formation.

Dele Alampasu (Ventspils)

Against Riga, Dele Alampasu was crucial on at least two occasions as Ventspils won 3-2.

William Troost-Ekong (Udinese)

He was an absolute wall in the battle against Paulo Dyballa and Cristiano Ronaldo as Udinese shocked Juventus 2-1.

Leon Balogun (Wigan)

The fiery defender was rock-solid in the draw against Fulham.

Zaidu Sanusi (Santa Clara)

The rising star has continued to make a name for himself in Portugal. He was classy against Vitoria Guimaeres.

Victor Moses (Inter Milan)

He was a constant force up and down on the right flank, contributing to the 3-0 demolishing of Genoa. Moses ensured his team did not concede any goal as he serves as an extra forward with the assist for Inter Milan’s second goal.

Joel Obi (Chievo Verona)

In the 4-1 massacre of Cittadella, the former Inter Milan star accounted for an assist.

Wilfred Ndidi (Leicester City)

Ndidi played with great urgency and determination in the loss to Manchester United.

Joe Aribo (Rangers)

The brain of the Gers. In a friendly game with Coventry, he stepped up to dictate the pace, provided charisma in the midfield and even scored a decisive goal. Vital.

Samuel Nnamani (Eskilsuna United)

His future may very well lie elsewhere, but the striker was on song for Eskilsuna United last weekend. Quality player.

Cyriel Dessers (Genk)

Genk have found the ideal replacement for Samatta in Cyriel Dessers. The forward struck the winner against AZ. The goal was absolute class.

Simy Nwankwo (Crotone)

A brace against Livorno made it 20 goals in 35 games for the Nigerian in the 2019/20 Serie B season.
