Sunderland teenage sensation Josh Maja clocks in at number seven along with Southampton Striker Olufela Olomola and six other players. They have netted two goals each.

Other players of Nigerian descent that have registered their names on the score sheet in Premier League 2 include Joel Asoro (Sunderland), Fikayo Tomori, Ike Ugbo (both Chelsea) and Ovie Ejaria (Liverpool).
