Ogbeche who won the Golden Boot last season, registered a record equaling 18 goals in a single campaign, including the first perfect hat-trick the Indian Super League has ever seen. The Nigerian goalscorer has now spent four seasons in the country, amassing 60 goal contributions (53 goals and 7 assists) in just 77 games, and is currently the leading scorer in the league’s history.
The former Nigerian international has also achieved a rare feat of winning back-to-back ISL titles in 2020-21 and 2021-22.
From 🇳🇬, coming back to rule in 💛🖤 again!
