Victor Osimhen showcased his goal-scoring prowess with a towering header for Napoli in their 4-2 victory over Monza last weekend. The Nigerian striker, who had faced a challenging March with a goal drought, returned to form with a spectacular leap and finish to equalize for his team.

Osimhen's goal, which drew praise from football legend Didier Drogba, highlighted his athleticism and ability to innovate in crucial moments. The striker's performance against Monza was a reminder of his potential, especially as he has been linked with top European clubs amid a less prolific season compared to his previous campaigns.

Meanwhile, Mohamed Salah continued his impressive goal-scoring record against Manchester United, netting his 11th goal in the Premier League fixtures between Liverpool and United. Despite Salah's landmark goal, Liverpool had to settle for a draw as they continue their pursuit of the English Premier League title.

In Spain, Iñaki Williams celebrated his first major trophy with Athletic Bilbao as they clinched the Copa del Rey title. The Ghanaian forward, known for his loyalty to Athletic, played a key role in the victory, marking a significant achievement in his career.

Nathan Tella, the Nigerian winger, is on the verge of Bundesliga glory with Bayer Leverkusen as they maintain an unbeaten streak in the league. Tella's contributions have been vital to Leverkusen's success, with the team edging closer to securing the league title.

Overall, the recent performances of Osimhen, Salah, Williams, and Tella reflect the impact of African players in top European leagues, showcasing their talent and determination on the field.
