Top scorers: Nigerians in Europe 2026/27
Iheanacho's numbers come with a caveat: Bursaspor play in the TFF 1. Lig, Turkey's second tier. Even so, a goal in every league game he has played is a run few expected when he dropped down a division in July. Arokodare's seven at Ajax include three in Conference League qualifying, while Durosinmi has needed only nine games at Genk to match him.

Injuries and players short of minutes
Benjamin Fredrick, Igoh Ogbu, Felix Agu and Christantus Uche have not played a minute of club football this season. Igoh Ogbu is still working back from Achilles surgery at Slavia Prague, Christantus Uche has a cruciate ligament injury at Getafe and Felix Agu has been out with a calf problem at Werder Bremen. Benjamin Fredrick, called up by Eric Chelle in September, is still waiting for his Brentford debut.
The bigger worry for Chelle is the list of players who have gone more than three weeks without a club appearance, most of them with no injury reported: Zaidu Sanusi (last game 29 Aug), Jordan Torunarigha (last game 19 Sep), Kevin Akpoguma (last game 2 Sep), Victor Okoh Boniface (last game 29 Aug), Femi Azeez (last game 15 Aug), Taiwo Awoniyi (last game 13 Sep), Umar Sadiq (last game 30 Aug) and Owen Oseni (last game 22 Sep). Paul Onuachu picked up a muscle injury at Trabzonspor on 15 October and Moses Usor has been out with a shoulder problem since 11 October.
Super Falcons in Europe
Rasheedat Ajibade leads the way at Paris Saint-Germain with 4 goals, two of them in the Champions League. Chiamaka Nnadozie has started every game in goal for Brighton, and Osinachi Ohale has just moved to Como from Pachuca.
