Nigerian striker Salim Fago Lawal has been on fire in Europe, scoring a brace in NK Istra’s 2-1 win over Dinamo Zagreb in the Croatian top flight league.

The 22-year-old’s impressive performance has sparked interest in his potential call-up to the Super Eagles, with his goal-scoring exploits making him a hot topic among Nigerian football fans.

Lawal’s goals, scored in the 10th and 32nd minutes, showed his clinical finishing and predatory instincts.

His first-half double gave NK Istra a commanding lead, and although Dinamo Zagreb pushed hard for a comeback, Lawal’s heroics ensured his team emerged victorious.

The former Flying Eagles striker’s current form is impressive, with five goals and two assists in his current season.

His contributions have been instrumental in NK Istra’s success, and his name is now being touted for a potential Super Eagles call-up.

Lawal’s impressive performances have not gone unnoticed, and his dream of representing Nigeria on the international stage is inching closer.

With his current goal-scoring run, the young striker is making a strong case for himself, and Nigerian fans are eager to see him don the Super Eagles jersey soon.
