Martins wins MVP of the season award for Seattle Sounders

Super Eagles striker, Obafemi Martins, has been voted Seattle Sounders best player for the second consecutive season. The former Inter Milan striker also won the club’s Golden Boot award after netting 15 times to emerge the Major League Soccer side’s top scorer for the season.

Asiide scoring from vital goals for Sounders, Martin also notched up six assists in 21 appearances for the club despite spending two months out injured.

Obafemi's stunning rise to prominence in American soccer has earned him a place in the Super Eagles squad with coach Sunday Oliseh playing him in Nigeria's last two World Cup qualifier matches.

"Humbled again to be named team MVP. However, all credit due to my teammates and coaches. Already focusing on 2016," Martins wrote on Twitter.
