Can Queens Park Rangers wonderkid Eberechi Eze be Nigeria's next big thing?

Some of Queens Park Rangers best players during their time in the Championship over the last decade have been African stars.

Adel Taarabt's sublime campaign in the 2010-11 season, when he scored 19 and contributed 16 assists to inspire the Hoops to the top flight, was unforgettable, as the Morocco playmaker was involved in almost half of their 71 goals.

Nine years on, albeit on a lesser scale, another prodigious talent, Eberechi Eze, is proving to be a critical figure for the West London outfit, largely carrying the can for a group certainly not as cohesive as the 10/11 title-winning team.
