Russian Premier League: Ejuke in contention for player of the month award

Russia-based Super Eagles forward, Chidera Ejuke, has been nominated for his club's player of the month award for the month of September.

The 23-year old who is currently in the Super Eagles camp in preparation for Nigeria's World Cup Qualifiers, joined Russian giants, CSKA Moscow two seasons ago after an impressive stint with Heerenveen in the Dutch League.

And since he moved to Russia, Ejuke has been a revelation for his CSKA Moscow side which has earned him successive call ups to the National Team.

He was on Wednesday nominated for CSKA Moscow's player of the month for September alongside Anton Zabolotny, Ilzaf Akmetov and veteran goalkeeper, Igor Akinfeev.

The winner of the award will be announced in the coming days after the votes would've been collated from the club's website.

The young forward will fancy his chance to continue his scintillating run against Central African Republic on Thursday
