Anichebe scored in the match, with his goal in the game being his first competitive goal since May 2015 (about 18 months).

The 28-year-old striker reportedly earns about £11m annually.

Anichebe has only made 16 appearances for Nigerian national team (5 for Nigeria U23 and 11 for the Super Eagles) and he won Olympic silverware competing for Nigeria in the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
