A first-time entry for both player and country, Sunday Mba has been
Nigeria's revelation over the last year.
The midfielder's inclusion, along with five other home-based players,
in Nigeria's Africa Cup of Nations squad raised eyebrows but the
24-year-old played better thanmany of the nation's more heralded
foreign contingent.
Having started the tournament on the bench, Mba was Nigeria's hero in
the knockout stages. He scored the winner in the quarter-final against
Cote d'Ivoire to spell the end for Didier Drogba's trophyless 'golden
generation'. Then in the final itself, Mba fired home the only goal
against Burkina Faso to gift Nigeria their first Afcon title since
1994.
The 24-year-old was also one of Nigeria's best performers at the
Confederations Cupand has helped to draw attention to the depth of
talent in the Nigerian league.
A drawn out transfer tussle between Warri Wolves - who own the player
and his full transfer rights - and new club Enugu Rangers - where he
will stay on loan until the end of the league season in September -
mean he has played just a single domestic game, scoring one goal.
