Agba baller.
Contender for AFPOTY this year, along with Boniface.
A trident of Lookman, Osimhen, and Bonface will wreak havoc on any African opponent on their day. If only there’s coach that can formulate a formation that gets them to play together with telepathy.
Boniface not a contender.
Baller! currently, the best Nigerian player in Europe without any shadow of doubt. He is in prime position to win APOTY, especially if he wins the Europa league.
