Nigeria internationals Rabiu Ibrahim and Kingsley Madu have been named among the best players in Slovakia for the past year.

According to Mtnfootball.com, Rabiu Ibrahim was chosen among the top midfielders, while compatriot Madu was named one of the star defenders in Slovakia for 2015.

The report described Rabiu as “the classic No 10 with a magical left foot” and “The New Jay-Jay Okocha”.

The 24-year-old midfielder was scored 88% in passing and 79% for his dribbles, but he could do a lot better with his tackling (55%) and shooting (56%).

In the year under review, he scored three goals and provided an assist in 22 appearances for his club Trencin.

The suggestion is that he should now retest himself in a bigger league in Europe after failed stints in Holland and Scotland.

Left back Madu was scored 83% for passes, 68% dribbles and 58% for tackles.

Last year, the 20-year-old defender played 20 matches during which he netted a goal and made three assists.

“He’s a quick defender, who is capable of delivering decisive passes and loves to join the attack. He also works hard in training,” remarked Trencin official Andrej Zacik.
