I ran through how our Super Eagles players performed in the top European leagues over the past week including Taiwo Awoniyi scoring his 13th Bundesliga goal of the season in a 2-0 win over Entraicht Frankfurt this weekend
In England, Emmanuel Dennis scored his 10th Premier League goal of the season for Watford in their 2-1 loss at home to Brentford, which makes for an intriguing summer with Watford likely to be relegated so Dennis may be on the move to continue playing in the Premier League
In the Netherlands, Cyriel Dessers hot form continues with him reaching 13 goals for the season for Feyenoord after his brace in their UEFA Conference League 3-1 win over Peter Olayinka’s Slavia Prague to set up a semi-final showdown against Marseille
In Spain, Samuel Chukwueze scored the winning goal for Villarreal in their Champions League quarter final clash against Bayern setting up a tasty semi-final tie against Liverpool with the first leg taking place at Anfield on Tuesday
In international news, the Super Eagles have been drawn into Group A for the Africa Cup of Nations 2023 qualifiers where we will face Sierra Leone, Guinea-Bissau and either Sao Tome or Mauritius with the 1st set of qualifiers taking place in June
Additionally, the NFF have announced two friendlies for the national team against Mexico taking place on May 29th and against Ecuador which takes place on June 2nd
I also rounded up with the Ones to Watch over the coming week
