The award was presented to the tall striker by Trabzonspor vice president Zeyyat Kafkas ahead of their clash with Kayserispor, which ultimately set the stage for another memorable performance by the Nigerian star.

The Nigerian forward is now the top scorer in the Turkish Super Lig, with six goals and one assist in eight appearances this season.
His consistency in front of goal has been a driving force behind Trabzonspor’s push for the top spots, reigniting hopes of challenging for the title.
