As the major European leagues have come to its conclusion, many Super Eagles stars were crowned champions with their clubs.

In this article, MyNigeriaSports puts the spotlight on Super Eagles stars who won various titles in the 2023/2024 season.

Victor Boniface

In his debut season in the German Bundesliga, Victor Boniface played a pivotal role in Bayer Leverkusen's historic league triumph.

The 23-year-old forward contributed 21 goals and 10 assists in 34 games across all competitions for Xabi Alonso's side.

Boniface's stellar campaign fueled Leverkusen to a historic domestic double as they added the DFB Pokal to the Bundesliga title last weekend.

Nathan Tella

Another standout performer for Bayer Leverkusen.

Nathan Tella played a crucial role in their Bundesliga and DFB Pokal success this season.

The 24-year-old midfielder contributed 5 goals and 4 assists in the league and showcased his versatility across various competitions, tallying a total of 7 goals and 6 assists in 42 appearances.

Wilfred Ndidi

Super Eagles midfielder Wilfred Ndidi played a key role in Leicester City's triumphant return to the Premier League by securing the EFL Championship title.

Ndidi's stellar form, which included 5 goals and 6 assists, was instrumental in Leicester's promotion campaign.

However, his future at the club remains uncertain as several clubs, including Barcelona, Galatasaray, and Aston Villa, have expressed interest amid his contract expiry this summer.

Kelechi Iheanacho

Joining Ndidi in Leicester City's Championship-winning campaign was Kelechi Iheanacho.

He showcased his attacking prowess with 5 goals and 1 assist.

Like Ndidi, Iheanacho's contract situation adds intrigue to his future at the club, with his contract set to expire next month.

William Troost-Ekong

William Troost-Ekong won the Greek Super League with PAOK Salonica following the club's 2-1 victory away at Aris on Sunday, May 19.

It was the first major title at club level for the Super Eagles vice-captain.

Troost-Ekong recently returned to action after undergoing a surgery following the injury he sustained during the African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

He made 10 league appearances for the newly crowned Greek champions.

Ademola Lookman

The 26-year-old grabbed the headlines with his stellar individual performance in the Europa League final last week.

The Super Eagles scored a remarkable hat-trick as Atalanta beat Bayer Leverkusen 3-0 to win their first European title.

The Europa League triumph was the club's first major trophy in 61 years.

Lookman became the first-ever player to score a hat-trick in the Europa League final.

Peter Olayinka

Olayinka won a domestic double with Redstar Belgrade in the Serbian league.

The 28-year-old scored 12 goals and managed 7 assists in 42 appearances for his side this season to end his campaign with the Serbian Superliga and the Serbian Cup.

Raphael Onyedika

The young talented midfielder who was voted Young Player of the Season in the Belgium Pro League last season was a league winner with Club Brugge this term.

The 23-year-old managed 4 goals and 2 assists in 49 appearances across all competitions for Club Brugge.
