La Liga's top dribbler Chidera Ejuke wins Sevilla's Player of the Month award after Nigeria recall

The 26-year-old made a significant impact during the month, featuring in five league matches and scoring one vital goal.

His standout moment came in Sevilla's 2-1 win over Real Valladolid, where Ejuke netted the decisive goal on September 24.

Having joined Sevilla on a free transfer this summer after departing CSKA Moscow, Ejuke has quickly made his mark.

Since his arrival, he has emerged as one of La Liga's top dribblers, outpacing even stars like Kylian Mbappe and Vini­cius Junior of Real Madrid, as well as Barcelona's young talent Lamine Yamal.

His impressive performances have not gone unnoticed by the Nigerian national team, leading to his recall for the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers against Libya.

Ejuke last played for the Super Eagles during the 2021 AFCON in Cameroon, where Nigeria won all three group matches under coach Augustine Eguavoen, only to be eliminated by Tunisia in the Round of 16.

Now, Ejuke is set to rejoin his international teammates as Nigeria prepares for a home match against Libya on Friday, October 11, followed by an away fixture on Tuesday, October 15.

Nigeria currently tops Group D in the AFCON qualifiers, while Libya is at the bottom, making this double-header a critical opportunity for the Super Eagles to strengthen their lead.
