Cyriel Dessers
The 29-year-old is another player enjoying an enviable run of form with Rangers.
The Nigerian striker has accumulated an impressive eight goals involvements since the start of the new season for Philippe Clement's side.
Desser will hope his strong performances will earn him a call-up to the national team during the next international window.
Josh Maja
The 25-year-old is another player who has lit up the English Championship.
The West Brom forward has been involved in eight goals in his nine appearances as Coach Carlos Corberán's side chases Premier League promotion.
Maja last featured for the Super Eagles in 2019, and the striker will hope to earn a recall to the national team soon.
Victor Boniface
The Bayer Leverkusen forward closely follows on the list with seven goals involvements this season so far.
The ever-lively 23-year-old will be looking to add to his tally as he leads the line for Nigeria against Libya.
Victor Osimhen
The Galatasaray star, although currently sidelined with a hamstring injury, has had another outstanding start to the new season.
Osimhen has been involved in six goals since the beginning of the season.
The 25-year-old will be looking to return to action following the conclusion of the international break.
Wilfred Ndidi
The Leicester City star is the only midfielder to make the cut.
The 27-year-old has been involved in a staggering six goals since the start of the season.
This figure is even more impressive when considering that Ndidi has had to adapt to an auxiliary attacking role at Leicester City.
The defensive midfielder, however, will be looking to improve this tally when he leads the Nigerian midfield against Libya.
