Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has continued with his impressive performances in the French Ligue 1 as he scored for Lorient in their 3-1 win over Lyon on Wednesday night, 7 September.

Terem Moffi is currently on fire as the Nigerian has now scored five goals for Lorient this term after six games which is an impressive record for the Super Eagles star.

Former Arsenal Forward Ian Wright Urges Impressive Everton Star Alex Iwobi to Rejoin Gunners

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Arsenal striker Ian Wright has suggested that Arsenal need someone like Alex Iwobi right now as he urged the Nigerian international to return to the Emirates Stadium.

Iwobi dumped the Gunners in 2019 to join Premier League rivals Everton, but he initially failed to justify his £35m transfer fee under Carlo Ancelotti and Rafa Benitez.

However, he has improved under Frank Lampard as his form attracted Wright, who says he is pleased with the 26-year-old.

According to Wright, Arsenal supporters ridiculed the Nigerian the same way they did (Alex) Oxlade-Chamberlain.
