The Nigerian striker’s talent was first noticed during the last African Nations Cup. Strangely, this Nigerian striker was born in Moscow. He started his career at CSKA Moscow before moving to Bendel. He made his name in Belgium, at La Louviere where he plied his trade for three seasons. In 2003/04, he scored 5 goals in 27 games, enough to make him a Lille target. He joined LOSC in the summer.

Famous for his technique and his pace, the young Nigerian player is being monitored by some prestigious European clubs. Yet he wants to stay at Lille and help them qualify for the Champions League next season.
