Zaidu Sanusi is making good his chances of getting a call up to the senior national team of Nigeria following his man of the match performance for Santa Clara against Portimonense.
The 23 year old was on from start to finish in the game that ended in a 1-1 draw and after the game he was rated as the best player on the pitch by Whoscored.com after the game.
Operating from his primary role as a left back , he was brilliant in winning tackles and showed his attacking instincts by joining the attack , where he whipped in three good crosses not converted by his teammates.
The summer signing from 3rd division side Mirandela has so far proved to be a shrewd bargain with his impressive performance in his first season in the Portuguese top flight.
Already there are talks of a call up to the senior national team of Nigeria where coach Gernot Rohr is keen on more options in the left full back position to provide stiff competition for first choice Jamilu Collins.
