George Ilenikhena Al-Ittihad numbers

Seven goals and two assists across nine games for George Ilenikhena, split between Al-Ittihad and Nigeria, and he's only 20. Add up the minutes and it comes to 511, which puts his scoring rate at about one every 73. What's striking beyond the raw output is the physical strength he plays with, the speed, and how aggressively he goes after open space. Either wing works for him too, so the stat line isn't coming from one fixed role. The sense is that Saudi Arabia might not be a long stay if money isn't the main driver, and if the pace holds, European clubs will come calling before long. When he does decide to head back, expect a long line of them. #GeorgeIlenikhena
