Top Five Strikers Of Nigerian Descent in Europe Rohr Should Make A Move For

Published: July 27, 2018

Allnigeriasoccer.com brings to readers our top five strikers of Nigerian descent who will fit in nicely with the Super Eagles team.

Lukas Nmecha (Manchester City): Nmecha has proven himself to be a potent goalscorer for his English Premier League side ,starring for the club's youth ranks.

A 20-goal haul last term helped the teenager break into Josep Guardiola's senior side and it is increasingly looking he will be a very important part of the team come next season.

Dominic Solanke (Liverpool): The 20-year-old, long during his time with Chelsea showed his powers as a powerful marksman. Currently, he is only being kept out of the starting XI at Anfield by the brilliance of Egyptian star, Mohamed Salah and Brazilian, Roberto Firmino but that has not stopped Jurgen Klopp from handing him game time with the senior team.

His first Premier League goal in the last game of last season is looking the first of many to come.

Cyriel Dessers (FC Utrecht): The frontman has already shown himself to be of bountiful talents; be it with NAC Breda or with FC Utrecht with which he spent the course of last season, and surely deserves a look in.

In a brilliant campaign which saw the Eredivisie club finish fifth, Dessers scored 12 goals in 39 games in all competitions for his team.

Ike Ugbo (Chelsea): Ugbo is another youngster who leads the line with such inestimable precision. The 19-year-old has been with The Blues since starting out with their U-10 age group, developing through loan spells with English clubs, Barnsley and Milton Keynes Dons.

Quick, strong and with that uncanny knack for scoring spectacular goals despite his tender years, he has been tipped to make a maiden senior appearance for Chelsea on the back of his performances.

Michael Obafemi (Southampton): Quite why Obafemi is highly thought of at the St Mary's is easily understandable — his talents are simply indispensable.

Since swapping Leyton Orient for Southampton, the 17-year-old has never looked back. Having already made a record first-team bow for the club, it is well envisaged he will go on to make his name with the Saints.
