He is the side’s joint-top scorer in the domestic league alongside Ludovic Blas who has equally scored nine times.

However, the 24-year-old beat his teammate due to his assists – eight. It is unclear if Christian Gourcuff’s team will hand the Nigerian a permanent deal at the end of his loan switch.
