Super Eagles weekend watch - Spain


All roads lead to Spain this weekend as some truly exciting Super Eagles players will be expected to continue playing their way to the hearts of fans of the national team who will be following these stars with keen interest.

Afrofooty previews some of these players below:

Samuel Chukwueze: Having established himself under a new coach with some truly scintillating performance - a recent one against Real Madrid comes to mind - Chukwueze will be expected to dazzle (again) against Getafe today.

Moses Simon: Having played - and excelled - in a deep defensive left midfield role during the week, Moses Simon will hope he has done enough to earn the trust of his coach for this weekend's encounter against Atletico Madird.

Kenneth Omeruo: The Leganes defender, who is pushing Leon Balogun hard for a starting spot in

the Super Eagles, will target his 12th league appearance and his 11th start on Saturday when his side host fellow relegation strugglers Huesca. The Afcon 2013 winner's career has finally stabilised since arriving in Spain.

Francis Uzoho: The under 17 world cup winner, who as all but made the Super Eagles number one jersey his, will fancy his chances of making it four clean sheets in 8 games for Elche when they take on strugglers Gimnastic de Tarragona on matchday 21 of the Spanish LaLiga 2.

Ramon Azeez: The former Flying Eagles skipper will target his 9th league start for CD Lugo as they continue their quest for promotion into the LaLiga next season. Chances of seeing him in a Super Ealges jersey anytime soon are slim indeed.
