His journey at Sevilla has been marked by both successes and challenges. The 27-year-old quickly established himself as a pivotal player, but his progress was hindered by a significant hamstring injury that sidelined him for three months just as he was hitting his stride.

With Nigeria currently positioned third in Group C, having secured only three points from four matches, these qualifiers are crucial for maintaining their aspirations for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
