Squad depthGoal-getting Winger

Justin Patrick Nnamdi Obikwu is a 22-year-old winger at Lincoln, rated 46.8 overall by Field Insider's model. An emerging talent, he has been a fringe squad member this season (16.1% of available minutes). He brings 0.71 goal contributions per 90 (0.53 goals, 0.18 assists). Below: strengths, watch-points, market-value outlook and the latest transfer news on Obikwu.

On the season, Obikwu graded 11 for current form (age-blind), on 3 goals and 1 assist in 17 appearances (0.711 involvements per 90).

Year-on-year, that's broadly in line with last season (Season 14 → 11). Over the 3 seasons on record his form has trended upward, peaking in 2024/25.

On long-term talent our Rating reads 47. At 22 Obikwu is still climbing toward his ceiling, and a market index of 9.9 reflects that trajectory.

Read the appearance count in context: Obikwu missed 11 games through injury (knock) out of roughly 46 this season. The 17 he did play is a solid return on the time he was fit, and his ratings are weighted toward those games rather than the ones he sat out injured.
