His dominance in the air has established him as one of the league’s most dangerous forwards this season. The Nigeria international has netted nine headers, scoring against Kocaelispor, Samsunspor, Rizespor, Alanyaspor, Fenerbahçe, Fatih Karagümrük, Kayserispor, and Galatasaray.

As a team, Trabzonspor lead the league in headed goals, with 18 of their 55 total strikes coming from headers.
