The Nigerian forward is gradually hitting top gear after a slow start to the season marred by an ankle injury sustained during the September international break.
He will be keen to keep his European streak alive by scoring against Ajax on Wednesday and make it eight consecutive matches in Europe for the Lions.

Galatasaray boss Buruk has assessed his team’s performance after their 0-0 draw against Trabzonspor, admitting that a slow start cost them the match.
“We didn't start the match very well at the start. We were better later on,” he told GS TV. “Especially in the second half, after a certain point, we actually took over the game completely.
“There were some transitions here, which were made by the opponent. We gave our opponents the opportunity to create dangers from there.

“We could have used set-pieces more effectively. Especially at the end of the match, even with 10 men, we still had a clear set-piece opportunity. There were times when we used the ball poorly, rushed it.”
He also noted Andre Onana’s brilliant effort in preventing his team from getting a goal, but admitted that his players gave the goalkeeper a weak challenge.
The Turkish manager turned his attention to the UEFA Champions League against AFC Ajax on Wednesday for a chance to extend their record.
Galatasaray won consecutive Champions League matches for the first time in 13 years after beating Bodo/Glimt and could extend it to five if they beat Ajax.
“From now on, we want to win the league and be in a competitive position in the Champions League,” he added.
