Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) prolific scorers, Silas Nwankwo of Nasarawa United and Charles Atshimene of champions Akwa United have officially emerged as joint-highest goal scorers in the 2021 season.

Eunisell, sponsor of the prestigious Eunisell Boot award for the highest goal scorer in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) who made the announcement yesterday said each player would receive N3.8 for scoring 19 goals as each goal scored has a premium value of N200,000.

Instituted by the chemical as well as oil and gas engineering solutions company, the Eunisell Boot seeks to instil greatness in players in the domestic top flight and celebrate their success story.

In addition to the cash reward, each of the winners will receive the coveted Eunisell Golden Boot.

Therefore, history will be made by Eunisell as this will be the first time in the history of the domestic league that N7.6 million will be splashed on two players for their individual feats.

It will also be the second time Eunisell will celebrate joint winners after the duo of Mfon Udoh and Ibrahim Sunusi, in 2019.

Speaking on the decision to honour both players, Group Managing Director of Eunisell Limited, Chika Ikenga said “The Eunisell Boot aims to bring more attention to the Nigerian League and raise the profile.

“Now is the time to grow our league. The talent, market and opportunity are there.

“Football is an ecosystem that contributes significantly to our economy.”
