Alex Iwobi, Victor Moses, Ahmed Musa and 2018 Nigeria Player of the Year Award



I guess if we start voting now, Alex Iwobi may get all the votes. He is currently the only Nigerian player in a top flight club turning out five star performances week in - week out of this new Premier league season. And he has assumed a more crucial responsibility as a play-maker for the Nigerian national team since John Mikel Obi has been absent from the team and Victor Moses sudden retirement from International engagements.

Alex Iwobi has driven Super Eagles to win the double header against Libya and a home win against Seychelles in the 2019 AFCON qualifiers and we are hoping he will do more before the year draws to a close.

But at the beginning of the year, It was all about Victor Moses playing a vital role while Chelsea struggled for survival although last season. Victor Moses was also Super Eagles talisman building up to 2018 world cup. For anyone who could really throw back to early this year, Victor Moses will be his man.

Victor Moses who came from a successful win 2016/17 season with Chelsea and some incredible performances for Super Eagles World Cup qualifiers that saw Nigeria qualify in grand style.

Victor Moses has already won NFF Player of tge Year 2018 Award.

But then, at World Cup proper Ahmed Musa rose up from a long slumber to steal the show. Scored three crucial goals...two against Iceland, the only game Nigeria won, and one against Argentina. Since then, Ahmed Musa have been firing from all cylinder, taken over as Nigeria national team captain and playing the role of torment-in-chief in recent games of AFCON qualifiers.

For people who believe world cup is the biggest stage to showcase your prowess, then Ahmed Musa may deserve voting for as Nigeria's player of the year.

I am aware some people may have a different opinion from my submission here. They may look towards the hardworking central defenders, ‘Nigerian Oyibos’: Lean Balogun or William Troost-Ekong, or the indefatigable captain John Mikel Obi.

Now comment below, who is your 2018 Nigeria Player of the Year? [Fans Vote Series]
