The 27-year-old forward announced his return from injury with a goal for Gaziantep to crush Istanbul Basaksehir 3-0 in a Turkish Super Lig clash. It was his second goal of the campaign. Incidentally, he got injured while scoring his first goal of the season. His club have now climbed to 10th on the table with 15 points from a dozen games.

4.Raphael Onyedika
The Super Eagles defensive midfielder got in on the goal-scoring act with his first goal of the season as Club Brugge pounded St Truiden 7-0. Last season, he showed he could also get among the goals in the championship playoffs. His club remain in second place in the standings, six points behind table toppers Genk.
3.Tolu Arokodare
The big striker notched his ninth league goal of the season to celebrate his 24th birthday in style. Genk turned back Sporting Charleroi 3-0. It was a superb response from the league leaders after the thrashing they suffered at Union St.Gilloise just before the last international break.

With no national duty until March 2025, he now has enough time to push for a permanent transfer to Lazio.

The in-coming CAF Player of the Year 2024 again showed class by grabbing his seventh goal in Serie A for Atalanta to take temporary leadership of the championship before Napoli reclaimed it the following day. It has certainly been an eventful 2024 for the former England U21 star and it will now be rewarded next month in Morocco with the biggest individual prize on the African continent. A most deserved recognition for a thorough-bred professional.
