Eagles To Watch Out For Today: Sadiq Eager To Make Almeria History,Iwobi Seeks First Goal Since January

Almeria striker Sadiq Umar needs just a goal to become his club’s all-time top scorer and the Nigerian would be hoping he gets the job done this evening at the Estadio de los  Juegos  Mediterráneos  against visiting Real Oviedo.

Sadiq has scored 16 times in 32 appearances for the Rojiblancos since he joined the club last October from Serbian side, Partizan Belgrade and he is now joint top scorer at the Spanish second division club with 21 year old Uruguayan forward, Darwin Núñez.

Nunez, now with Portuguese side Benfica scored his 16 goals for Almeria in 30 games but bagged just two assists against Sadiq who has provided five assists so far.
A goal this evening will move the gangling,1.92m tall Nigerian above the Uruguayan and make history probably the first Nigerian player to top the all-time top scorers chart in a European club.

Sadiq failed to score when the two sides first met at the Estadio Carlos Tartiere last November but the 24 year old provided an assist for the first goal in the 2-1 win.

Meanwhile, Alex Iwobi will be seeking to score his second Premier League goal of the season for Everton when they host Aston Villa at the Goodison Park tonight.
Iwobi has not scored in the league since he netted the Toffees’ first goal in a 2-1 win against Wolverhampton Wandereres at the Molineux Stadium last January and the Nigerian will be desperate to hit his third Premier League goal in 53 appearances for the club he joined in the summer of 2019 from his boyhood club, Arsenal.

The Super Eagle was an unused substitute at the Emirates stadium last week when the Toffees recorded their first ever double win over the Gunners in the competition and he will want a quick return to reckoning tonight.

Iwobi will also be looking to get his first victory in three appearances against Aston Villa. The Nigerian has featured twice against Dean Smith’s side, drawing one and lost the other, both against Everton.
