[bet9ja.com](https://register.bet9ja.com/?btag=yohaig&promocode=yohaig)<br>Nigerian forward Chuba Akpom made an impressive start to life in Ligue 1, scoring on his debut for Lille in their 2-1 loss to Le Havre on Saturday night. Akpom joins an elite list of Nigerian players, including Moses Simon, Victor Osimhen, and Terem Moffi, who also scored on their Ligue 1 debuts. |

<br>The 29 year old, on loan from Ajax, began the match on the bench and came on in the second half to replace Osame Sahraoui. Although Le Havre had taken a 2-0 lead through goals from Koka and Issa Soumare, Akpom found the back of the net deep into stoppage time, reducing the deficit and [marking](https://www.footballinnigeria.com.ng/fan-zone/nwachukwu-the-provider-as-plodiv-begin-league-campaign/) his debut with a goal. |

<br>Chuba Akpom’s goal on his Ligue 1 debut is a significant milestone, but it also underscores the depth of Nigerian talent making waves across Europe’s top leagues. His journey from a successful stint at Middlesbrough to challenges at Ajax, and now a promising start at Lille, highlights the importance of perseverance and seizing opportunities when they arise. |

<br>For Lille, Akpom’s immediate impact could be a sign of things to come, especially as the team seeks attacking consistency. His loan spell is a chance to revive his scoring form and remind European football of his potential. If he continues to perform, Lille could be the perfect environment for him to re-establish himself as a prolific forward. |

<br>This debut is more than just a goal it’s a statement of intent. With Osimhen’s success at Lille as an inspiration, Akpom has a blueprint to follow, and fans will be hoping he can replicate similar success. |
