Three Nigerian talents are among the top ten scorers in the Premier League 2 after game week four.
England U21 international Chuba Akpom is fighting for a spot in the Arsenal first team, has impressed in the league, with 3 goals in 2 matches, and is joint-second in the goalscoring charts.
Sunderland teenage sensation Josh Maja clocks in at number seven along with Southampton Striker Olufela Olomola and six other players. They have netted two goals each.
Other players of Nigerian descent that have registered their names on the score sheet in Premier League 2 include Joel Asoro (Sunderland), Fikayo Tomori, Ike Ugbo (both Chelsea) and Ovie Ejaria (Liverpool).
Former Arsenal youth-teamer Olomola has an opportunity to reduce the gap between him and the top scorer, Derby County’s Charles Vernam, when Southampton face Reading on Monday, September 12.
