Nigerians Abroad : Rangers' Aribo, Nantes' Simon, Hadjuk's Eduok, Trabzonspor's Nwakaeme Score

Allnigeriasoccer.com's round up of the Nigerian players that were on target for their European clubs in matches played on Saturday February 8th.


The Levante loanee who came off just before halftime with an injury neatly beat Senegalese goalkeeper Alfred Gomis after he was fed by Louza Imran in the 20th minute, hauling his side level with his ninth goal of the season.

In the Turkish Süper Lig, out-of-favour Nigeria international Anthony Nwakaeme  took his goal tally to eleven in all competitions for Trabzonspor with a sumptuous effort in a 2-0 win over Gençlerbirligi.

Nwakaeme profited from a pass from Alexander Sorloth to score seven minutes from time, the second successive time he has done so for the Black Sea Storm.

Elsewhere, Rangers's Joe Aribo was on the scoresheet in a 4-1 Scottish Cup victory over Hamilton Academical.

The midfielder who last found the net in December 2019 doubled his team's lead off a Ryan Kent's assist in the 68th minute.

And finally in the Croatian First division, Samuel Eduok's solitary effort was all that separated Hadjuk Split and Lokomotiva Zagreb following a 1-0 win for the hosts.
