Mikel, Success, Odey… TheCable’s team of the week

Many Nigerian players were in action for their respective clubs in the past week.

The top performers made TheCable’s team of the week.

They are;

Francis Uzoho [Elche]

He was constantly tested and stood up to everything. He denied Real Zaragoza on several occasions.

Godswill Ekpolo [Haecken]

The Barcelona product made crucial tackles and frustrated the Dalkurd attackers with ease. He also supported the attack whenever he was needed in the 5-0 rout.

Semi Ajayi [Rotherham United]

Semi is Mr Reliable. He put up a no-nonsense display. He led the line perfectly at Preston North End.

Brian Idowu [Lokomotiv Moscow]

It was a watertight performance from the Super Eagles defender against FC Yenisey Krasnoyarsk.

Wilfred Ndidi [Leicester City]

The former Genk star stood very well for his defenders with his rugged marking and vision in the game against West Ham United. His late equaliser was stunning.

John Obi Mikel [Tianjin Teda]

Obi organised the attack and scored in the loss to Shanghai Shenhua. He appears fit enough for the Super Eagles’ game against South Africa.

Alex Iwobi [Arsenal]

Forever looking to cause maximum damage with a few moves, Iwobi was always willing to shoot in the pulsating 2-2 draw against Crystal Palace.

Victor Osimhen [Sporting Charleroi]

He constantly troubled Gent and showed his threat with his team’s only goal in the 2-1 loss.

Stephen Odey [FC Zürich]

A brilliant show from the forward who provided an assist and scored a goal in the 3-2 defeat to St. Gallen.

Samuel Chukwueze [Villarreal B]

Full of quality and bag of tricks, the winger put up a scintillating show for Villarreal B in the Segunda B III fixture against Atletico Bellaeres. He struck twice in the game.

Isaac Success [Watford]

It has been a remarkable season for Isaac Success. He found the back of the net for Watford in a 3-0 whitewash of Huddersfield Town.
