Victor Moses Aims to Break Goal Drought in FA Cup Clash Against Hull City
In a highly anticipated fifth-round faceoff at Stamford Bridge on Friday night, Chelsea’s Victor Moses is gearing up to end his two-year goal drought in the English FA Cup. The Nigerian international, who last found the net in the FA Cup during West Ham’s commanding 5-1 victory over Blackburn Rovers at Ewood Park on February 21, 2016, will be aiming to rediscover his scoring touch.
Moses, 27, currently on loan at West Ham from Chelsea, boasts a commendable record with six goals in the competition. Should he receive the nod from manager Antonio Conte, this would mark his 30th appearance in the FA Cup since making his debut a decade ago. Moses initially entered the scene as a substitute in Crystal Palace’s 2-0 defeat at Vicarage Road to Watford.
Meanwhile, across the European football landscape, Olanrewaju Kayode is on the verge of making his first appearance for Girona in 2018. The Nigerian striker, on a season-long loan from Manchester City, has made 12 La Liga Santander appearances and is eager to contribute as Girona hosts Leganes on Friday.
In the Bundesliga, Leon Balogun eyes his ninth appearance for Mainz 05 as they face Hertha Berlin in Berlin. The defender, contending with injuries this season, is poised to mark his 70th Bundesliga appearance since his debut.
Football enthusiasts are eagerly awaiting these key matchups, hoping for stellar performances from these Nigerian talents on the European stage.
