Striker Aliyu Baba of Sporting Lagos, continues to court attention in the Nigeria National League (NNL) with his impressive goalscoring return, netting 6 times in five starts in the second division.

Aliyu, 21, scored a hattrick in a must-win away match against Solution FC on Sunday evening, taking his tally to 6 goals from just five starts.

The lagos-based club signed him from Mahanaim FC during mid-season transfer window, after it struggled to find the back of the net in the first stanza of the season.

Aliyu opened his Sporting account scoring a brace in a 3-2 away win over Abakaliki FC. He followed that with a goal against First Bank FC after coming from the bench.

The deadly striker then produced another stunning away performance, scoring a hattrick in the 3-3 away draw against Solution FC.

He delivered 6-goals in 9 total appearances (5-starts and 3 substitute apps) for the Lagos club, despite only joining them in March during the mid-season window.

This goalscoring prowess has now attracted many football followers and clubs in the country.
