Meta Description: Nigerian striker Noah Abolaji Salaudeen has reached 47 goals and 16 assists in 18 games after another stunning hat-trick in Lithuania.
Nigerian striker Noah Abolaji Salaudeen has continued his extraordinary goalscoring campaign in Europe, hitting another hat-trick and providing an assist as O.G. Kaišiadorys thrashed FK Arpas 8–0 in Lithuania.
The latest performance takes Salaudeen’s reported tally for the 2026 season to an astonishing 47 goals and 16 assists in just 18 appearances across league and cup competitions, giving the Nigerian forward 63 direct goal contributions.
Salaudeen was once again at the heart of his team’s attacking display against Arpas, scoring three times while also creating another goal for his teammates.
His league numbers have been particularly impressive. The Nigerian has reportedly accumulated 39 goals and 15 assists from 15 league appearances, while his three cup outings have produced another eight goals and one assist.
The remarkable scoring run has strengthened Salaudeen’s growing reputation in Lithuania and could put the forward on the radar of clubs searching for attacking talent.
While the complete 2026 figures are not yet fully reflected in the Lithuanian Football Federation’s publicly indexed statistics, official records confirm Salaudeen as a Nigerian player registered with FK O.G. and document his involvement in Lithuanian competitions.
The prolific form is also a continuation of the goalscoring ability he demonstrated in 2025 with VJFM Fortūna, where he produced several impressive performances, including a hat-trick against FK Venta.
Despite his rapidly increasing numbers, Salaudeen insists his priority remains helping his team rather than chasing personal statistics.
“I don’t go into games thinking about how many goals I already have. Once the whistle goes, the only thing on my mind is the next chance and what I can do to help the team,” Salaudeen said in a prepared reaction.
“I’m scoring, I’m creating for my teammates and I’m enjoying my football. I want to keep this level until the final game.”
With 47 goals, 16 assists and 63 goal contributions in 18 appearances, Salaudeen is building a compelling story in European football.
For the Nigerian goal-poacher, continuing this remarkable form could eventually open the door to an even bigger opportunity elsewhere in Europe.
