Olarenwaju Ayoba Kayode
Olarenwaju Ayobami Kayode threads runs and attacks space as a centre-forward, sprinting beyond lines to threaten the back post. Kayode rose as Austria Wien's Golden Boot winner in 2016/17 with 17 goals. He thrives on explosive pace. A move to Manchester City in 2017 led to a loan at Girona to sharpen finishing moves. His stint with Shakhtar Donetsk in 2018–2019 added resilience and goal threat. Kayode earned his Super Eagles debut in 2017. Olarenwaju Kayode hunts space, finishes moves, and leaves defenders behind.
