Nigerian striker Ime Ndon is having a breakout season in Moldova, playing a pivotal role in FC Milsami’s pursuit of a historic domestic double. The former Ibom Youths FC player has been instrumental in propelling Milsami to the top of the Moldovan Super Liga table and into the semi-finals of the Moldovan Cup.
Ndon has tallied four goals and four assists in his last seven outings across all competitions, including a standout display in Milsami’s 5-0 league rout of CSF Bălți on May 3, where he notched two assists. Just days earlier, he scored and assisted in another 5-0 demolition this time against Spartanii Selemet in the first leg of the Moldovan Cup semi-finals.
Milsami now lead the Super Liga standings with 19 points from eight matches, just ahead of Sheriff Tiraspol. With three league games left and one more cup leg to play, the club is in a prime position to claim its first league title since 2015 and possibly a double with Ndon emerging as the key figure in this title chase.
Editorial
Ime Ndon’s rapid rise in Moldova is the kind of story Nigerian football fans love to see one of quiet ambition translating into high-impact performance. At a club not known for lavish resources or continental stardom, Ndon is rewriting expectations. He’s not just contributing he’s carrying Milsami’s title hopes on his back.
While most of the spotlight in Eastern European football falls on traditional powerhouses like Sheriff Tiraspol, it’s Milsami and their in-form Nigerian forward that are currently turning heads. Ndon’s blend of pace, composure, and decision making has added much needed bite to their attack—and his consistency is what separates him from just another hot streak.
This is also a moment for the Super Eagles’ scouts to take notice. Moldova may not be Europe’s flashiest league, but performance speaks especially when it fuels a title race. If nurtured properly, Ndon could soon find himself on a larger stage, perhaps in a top-tier European league or even wearing Nigeria’s green and white.
In the meantime, let’s give him his flowers. He’s earned them.
