Super Eagles star named in Turkish Super Lig TOTW

​Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi has been named in the Sofascore Turkish Süper Lig Team of the Week for Gameweek 23, Afrik-Foot reports.

​Ndidi put in a top performance for Besiktas last Sunday as they thrashed Goztepe 4-0 at the Tupras Stadium.

The Super Eagles skipper, who had just returned from his father’s burial ceremony in Nigeria, was thrown straight into the starting eleven and delivered immediately.

​Ndidi opened the scoring with a towering header from a corner kick. Following his opener, goals from Michael Murillo, Junior Olaitan, and Hyeon-Gyu Oh sealed a comprehensive victory for the Black Eagles.

​Asides from his goal, Ndidi’s defensive and transitional stats were elite. He recorded a 75% pass accuracy, seven successful carries, three tackles, four interceptions, three clearances, and three recoveries.

Also, he dominated the physical battles, winning 11 out of his 14 duels. According to Sofascore, the former Leicester City man earned a 8.2/10 rating, the highest of any player on the pitch.

​The Team of the Week selections were based on performance rankings from the latest round of fixtures.

Interestingly, Super Eagles striker Paul Onuachu failed to make the cut despite scoring for Trabzonspor against Gaziantep last weekend.

There was also no place for Victor Osimhen, who missed Galatasaray’s 2-0 loss at Konyaspor due to injury.
