We are few games into the European season for the 2018/2019 season
and as most Nigerian strikers are battling to find their scoring range,
one has been impressive so far for Swiss side FC Zurich.
Former MFM FC boy wonder Stephen Odey struggled to make hay in
his first season in Europe following his transfer in January but since
the start of this season he has turned into one of the stars of the
team.
Already his goal tally in all competitions is the highest among all
Nigerian players in Europe after six rounds of games and three cup games
in Switzerland this season for Europa League campaigners FC Zurich.
The 20 year old boast of two goals in the league and three in the cup
from the eight games he has played this season and the manner which he
has been able to combine his pace, power and finishing has also caught
the eyes.
Not
known for his aerial prowess while playing in the Nigeria Profesional
Football League few seasons ago, he has added that to his game and he is
now comfortable playing as the lone striker for his club as witnessed
in their 1-0 Europa League win over AEK Larnaca of Greece.
A senior international for Nigeria with one cap to his name, his
recent form will no doubt put him in the frame to be considered for
future call ups particularly if he continue his rich vein of form in
front of goal.
