Anthony Nwakaeme making late play for Nigeria squad with Trabzonspor form

The red-hot forward can’t stop scoring, and is making it even more difficult to overlook him for a spot in the Super Eagles' 23

Yeni Malatyaspor probably left Medical Park Arena not knowing what had hit them. The club from Malatya had raced into an early lead and planted the notion of a shock being on the cards against their fourth-placed hosts.

However, Anthony Nwakaeme, who equalized and assisted the winning goal, had other ideas, with his impact palpable as Trabzonspor mounted a 2-1 fightback. As has been the case in the last few weeks, the forward has taken Black Sea Strom's season by the scruff of the neck in their battle to beat Besiktas to third place, playing out of his skin and delivering the end product in the final third by measure of goals and assists.
