The Taye Academy product has tallied nine goals in ten appearances in the FA Cup, making him Nigeria's most prolific player in the prestigious competition after only three years as a professional.

He has found the net against Norwich City, Aston Villa (3), Huddersfield Town, Fleetwood Town (2) and Peterborough 92) in the FA Cup.
