Nigerian Stars Shining in the Championship
One name you’ll hear a lot is Marcus Rashford. Although he’s English, his style reminds many fans of Nigerian forwards who blend strength and skill. More directly, Marc Guehi is a young defender of Nigerian descent playing for Crystal Palace, and his possible move to Liverpool is heating up. If Liverpool lands Guehi, he could team up with other Nigerian‑heritage players like Joe Gomez – another Palace product.
Then there’s Elliot Anderson, a midfielder with roots in Nigeria who just earned his first England call‑up. His rise shows how Nigerian talent can break into top clubs quickly. Keep an eye on his performances for Nottingham Forest – solid games mean more chances for a senior national team debut.
Don’t forget the forwards. Jobe Bellingham isn’t Nigerian, but his aggressive playstyle mirrors that of many Nigerian strikers. Fans often compare his work rate to the likes of Victor Osimhen, who’s blowing up in Serie A. Watching how Bellingham adapts can give clues about how Nigerian forwards might thrive in the Championship.
