The Lille goalkeeper has been adjudged by fans as the best Nigerian in Europe for the just concluded 2013-14 season following his heroics in Ligue 1
Goalkeeper Vincent Enyeama has won the Nigeria Player of the Season Europe award voted for by readers of Goal.
He topped the poll ahead of four other players who are among the best performing Nigerians in Europe in the just ended 2013-14 season.
The Lille goalkeeper got 59.4% of votes cast to win the accolade ahead of nearest contender Ikechukwu Uche.
The Villareal striker, who scored 14 goals in the Spanish top flight but was dropped from the Super Eagles squad to the World Cup, got 23.1% of the votes.
Finishing in third place was Emmanuel Emenike who won the Turkish title with Fenerbahce. He polled 9.9% of votes cast by Goal readers.
For his feat with Stoke City, Peter Odemwingie polled 6.2% to finish fourth ahead of Efe Ambrose who won the Scottish title with Celtic who got 1.4% of the votes cast.
Enyeama had his best season with the French club as he went 1062 minutes without conceding a goal. He was also named Ligue 1 player of the month for October and November 2013. Lille will play in the Uefa Champions league next season.
The 31-year-old will lead Nigeria to the World Cup next month where he is expected to shine like he did at the 2010 tournament in South Africa.
