The former Liverpool forward, who is currently ruled out for months, has scored four goals in 10 Premier League appearances for Forest this season.
After a slow start to life following his return to the Premier League, the Ilorin-born striker has established himself as one of the most dreaded strikers in the English topflight with only Erling Haaland and Mohamed Salah the two strikers to have outscored him in the Premier League since May.
His equaliser at West Ham before the international break was his 10th goal in 14 games in the competition.
