The claim that 21-year-old Anas Yusuf has emerged as the top scorer in the Nigerian Professional Football League (NPFL) with 18 goals in the 2024/25 season is confirmed by multiple credible sources as of September 4, 2025.
Reports from outlets like Blueprint, Premium Times, Punch, and the NPFL’s official channels highlight that Yusuf, a forward for Nasarawa United, netted 18 goals to clinch the Golden Boot and Eunisell Boot awards, with the latter accompanied by a ₦3.6 million cash prize.
His achievement was officially recognized during an award ceremony on September 2, 2025, in Abuja, where he expressed ambitions to surpass this tally in the current season. The consistency across these reports, supported by his inclusion in Nigeria’s CHAN provisional squad, solidifies his status as the league’s leading scorer.
Yusuf’s rise from an overlooked youth player to the NPFL’s top scorer has drawn attention, with his 18 goals, including two hat-tricks, standing out in a competitive season where Remo Stars claimed the title.
