The highest number of goals that any African player has scored in the Italian top-flight this season is two. And six African players have scored two, including Nigerian striker Adams. The other players in the top ten have one goal each.

Adams’ two league goals for Venezia came against Fiorentina and Napoli. They fell to a 4-2 defeat to Fiorentina, but his goal against Napoli helped them claim their first win of the campaign.

How Many Super Eagles Players Are In Serie A?

There are five Super Eagles players in the Italian top-flight – Dele-Bashiru (Lazio), Samuel Chukwueze (AC Milan), Ebenezer Akinsanmiro (Monza), Adams (Venezia), Maduka Okoye (Udinese), and Kevin Akpoguma (Frosinone).

Of these players, the only one who is yet to play this season is Akpoguma, who moved to Italy in the summer after spending the earlier years of his career in Germany.

Although Adams is in the top ten, he was expected to have a better campaign that he is having at Venezia. He joined the club for €16 million from Sevilla, a club-record fee, but he has been inconsistent so far. They currently sit 19th in the league, only separated from bottom-placed Udinese by one point.

The club’s fans will be hoping that their fortunes improve soon, because if they fail to do so, they could be on their way to Serie B.
