Danish side FC Midtjylland picked up a shock 1-1 draw against Serie A free scoring side Atalanta in the UEFA Champions League yesterday.
Their Nigerian midfielder Frank Onyeka was pivotal in helping them to a point with his dominance in the midfield restricting the Italian side from having a free run at their defence.
22 year old Onyeka has a passing accuracy of 77% with 26 passes completed with five of them coming in the form of long balls to help his team’s transition.
He recovered the ball twelve times for his team and didn’t shy away from getting invoked with five tackles won alongside eight aerial duels. He also made five interceptions to stop Atalanta from making incursions into their box.
His performance has no doubt put him in the frame for the highly talked about January transfer move after he was priced out of a move away in the summer transfer window.
