Several Nigerian footballers are fighting to avoid relegation in their respective European leagues. After Joe Aribo and Paul Onuachu’s relegation with Southampton, other Nigerian stars are desperately trying to keep their teams in the top divisions.
Wilfred Ndidi’s Leicester City in Dire Situation
Wilfred Ndidi’s Leicester City is 19th in the Premier League table, 15 points from safety. The team has lost eight consecutive matches without scoring a goal, a record in English football. Despite Ndidi’s four assists in 22 appearances, relegation looks likely.
Moses Simon’s Nantes and Hafiz Ibrahim’s Reims in Relegation Battle
In Ligue 1, Moses Simon’s Nantes is four points above the relegation zone, while Hafiz Ibrahim’s Reims occupies the relegation playoff spot. Simon has been impressive, registering nine assists and seven goals. Reims has struggled since the departure of manager Will Still.
Jamilu Collins’ Cardiff City in Danger
Jamilu Collins’ Cardiff City is 22nd in the Championship table, occupying the final relegation spot with 41 points, just two points from safety. The team has shown resilience recently but poor away form continues to be a concern.
Victor Moses and Elijah Adebayo’s Luton Town
Luton Town, featuring Victor Moses and Elijah Adebayo, is 23rd in the Championship table, four points from safety. The team has shown improvement recently, avoiding defeat in four consecutive matches and winning twice. However, injuries to Moses and Adebayo have complicated their survival push.
Muhamed Tijani’s Plymouth Argyle
Plymouth Argyle, featuring Muhamed Tijani, is bottom of the Championship table and six points from safety. The team has struggled on their travels and conceded 78 goals across 40 matches, the poorest defensive record in the division.
