Terem Moffi massively impressed in the 2022-23 season at club level.

The 24-year-old striker enjoyed a blistering start to the Ligue 1 season, scoring goals for fun and giving world-class stars like Kylian Mbappe, Neymar, and even Lionel Messi a run for their money with his ruthlessness in front of goal.

However, it’s not just Moffi’s impressive showing on the pitch that caught our attention.

The forward was also on point with his outfits off the pitch - simplicity with a touch of class, even though, he posted more on his Instagram page last season, we still wish he posted more for sure.

Below are some of his best fits of the just-concluded season.

Nigeria’s starboy Victor Osimhen, sealed his name in the history books after a record-breaking season with Napoli.

Osimhen helped the Partenopei to their first Scudetto in 33 years almost on his own.

The 24-year-old broke boundaries in the Serie A on the pitch and his name has remained on the lips of Nigerians since he opened the account for the 2022-23 campaign.

The Super Eagles striker is wanted by a host of Europe’s elite in what seems to be a long summer for the Nigerian as his future remains up for speculation.

Osimhen’s goalscoring surely blew us away, but what wowed us even more was his fits, whenever he isn’t destroying defences for fun.

It’s no secret that the Lagos-born superstar is a huge sucker for luxury and made sure to remind his fans once again this season.

Osimhen tries not do too much with his outfit, but opts for catchy feels so much that you can’t help but zoom in to check his drip.

However, that did not stop the Super Eagles star from impressing with his fits off the field.

Ndidi’s outfits have always equated with his calm and reserved demeanour.

He manages to keep his drip cold while he explores and flaunts his brilliant colour combinations.

Whatever colour he chooses, he almost never misses, while maintaining his simplicity.

This is one Super Eagles star we also wished posted more on his Instagram page due to the enormous potential of his fashion style.

To be honest, we’re actually willing to bet Ndidi will definitely make a huge career if he were ever to go into fashion design when he retires. 

He just oozes ideas with his outfit each time he is spotted off the pitch.

It’s no surprise the talented 27-year-old made the list.

We always knew even before the season began that Emmanuel Dennis was going to give us a real show off the pitch, taking a cue from his outfits last season which we nearly slept on.

So, we couldn’t afford a near slip-up again this season, and guess what? Emmanuel Dennis delivered every single time!

Although his fortunes on the pitch with Nottingham Forest last campaign is a different conversation for another day, the 25-year-old forward was certainly prolific off the pitch.

The pretty boy of the Super Eagles team left ladies thirsting in his comment section and was severally highlighted by a number of fashionistas on social media.

It was hard to pick the outfit that stood out for us, but the Nigeria international never missed. It’s that simple.
