#1 Israel Abia (Sunshine Stars)
NPL is one of the most difficult leagues for strikers to score. Last season, the Golden Boot winner managed to score only 10 goals showing how tough the defenders in the division are.
However, in Israel Abia, the Nigerians have a gem in their hands. The Sunshine Stars striker managed to score a quadruple in a 4-2 win over Nasarawa United. His calmness and ice-cool composure make him miles ahead of other strikers in the division.
His 6 goals this season puts him in prime position to win the Golden Boot at the end of the season. The Sunshine Stars striker is destined for greatness and will keep getting better as the season progress.
The centre-forward carries the team's fortune as he is the only player to have scored more than one goal this season. The Akure Gunners will be hoping Isreal Abia continues his goalscoring run to help them climb the table from sixth where they sit now.
