Chidera Ejuke was not called up to Eric Chelle’s squad for Nigeria’s matches this month, but showed why he is called the next 'Jay-Jay Okocha.'

Baller of the Week: Osimhen beats Lookman, 2 other Super Eagles stars to retain crown
After an impressive weekend, Galatasaray's Victor Osimhen edges Super Eagles teammates Ademola Lookman, Umar Sadiq and Chidera Ejuke to keep his Baller of the Week crown.
Ejuke was on the provisional list but not on the 23-man list released on Tuesday despite his impressive performances recently. However, the 27-year-old appears not to be bothered by the snub as he showed what he could have offered differently from the players called up.
The former CSKA Moscow star showed why he is called the next “Okocha” as he showed his dribbling skills. In a video shared on Sevilla’s X page, formerly known as Twitter, Ejuke was seen putting his teammates on skates.
In the highlight reel shared, Ejuke beat his marker with a skill called “the snake bite”. In another separate incident in the same video, the ex-Hertha Berlin man was also seen turning another marker inside out before putting the ball past the goalkeeper.
The two moments showed were shades of Jay-Jay and highlight Ejuke’s incredible dribbling ability.
Ejuke building up his form at Sevilla
It has been a rollercoaster season for Ejuke since moving to Sevilla. The Super Eagles started well, going on to become one of Los Nervionenses' key players.
However, just as he was hitting his strides, Ejuke picked up a hamstring injury that ruled him out for three months.

The 27-year-old has since returned, though, and appears to be gaining momentum again. Ejuke was recently on target last weekend, scoring the lone goal in Sevilla’s 1-0 win at Real Sociedad.
