Olise should be the favorite to win the Goal of the Month considering that his sumptuous free-kick effort against Manchester United has also been nominated for the Premier League Goal of the Month.
Akinwale's tap in which proved to be the game-winner in the development squad's 1-0 win at Liverpool on January 22 is also on the shortlist.
The aforementioned Nigerian players will be hoping to follow in the footsteps of 2017 Super Eagles invitee Eberechi Eze, who won Crystal Palace's Goal of the Month for December 2022.
