Two Nigerians have Already Scored more Goals than Osimhen in 2024

 



Victor Osimhen is undoubtedly one of Nigeria's best strikers currently playing the game of football. His goalscoring records shows that he has already netted 8 times for Napoli since the beginning of 2024. Meanwhile, there are two Nigerians that have scored more for top flight sides within the period as per Transfermarkt. Who are these goal poachers?

The leading goalscorer among Nigerians in top flight leagues so far this year is Cyriel Kolawole Dessers. This centre-forward has already netted 10 times for Rangers, a Scottish Premiership outfit, in 2024. Eight of these strikes while recorded in the domestic league while the other 2 came in the Scottish FA Cup. One notable fact about this Super Eagles star is that he has not lost any game in which he scored since the turn of the year.

The player that comes closest to this Belgium-born striker is Mbaoma Chijioke. This guy has been credited with 9 goals for Enyimba since the turn of 2024. Unlike Dessers, this Warri-born footballer registered all these strikes in the same competition - Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL). Within the period, Chijioke only registered one brace. This was in February when the Aba giants hosted Gombe United. He netted once each in either half as his side beat the visitors 4-0.



Osimhen

For Osimhen, 7 of his goals for Napoli were scored in the Serie A while one was netted in the UEFA Champions League (UCL). It is noteworthy that his UCL goal helped to rescue a point for his side in the first leg of the round of 16.
