The former U17 World Cup winner had an unfruitful spell with Bundesliga side Wolfsburg but he returned to great form as he found the back of the net on 20 occasions.
Just like the 20-year-old striker, Liverpool loanee Taiwo Awoniyi also had an eventful season with Royal Excel Muoscron where he scored 14 goals in all competitions.
Considering the improvements in both players' confidence level, coupled with Henry Onyekuru and Samuel Kalu's wonderful record during their time in Belgium, it won't be out of place to suggest that the Belgian First Division A presently provides great atmosphere for young players to project their career to a new level.
In this regards, allnigeriasoccer.com predicts four Nigeria players who need to be in Belgium if they must bring their career back on track next season.
Kelechi Nwakali
Musa Yahaya
Yahaya was tipped for greatness after helping Nigeria win the U17 World Cup in 2013 but the Mutunchi Academy product has failed to maintain steady growth.
Funsho Bamgboye
It is good seeing him compete against his compatriots in Belgium but it will be a huge task finding an interested suitor.
Dele Alampasu
Tipped as Enyeama's heir by many Super Eagles supporters based on his blistering performances for the Golden Eaglets in 2013.
Unfortunately, Dele Alampasu has somewhat failed to live up the hype but a switch to the Belgian League might just be the only criterion needed to catapult the goalie to a greater level of his career.
