Nsue plays primarily as a right-back for club side CF Intercity in Spain's third tier.
However, he was deployed as a striker at AFCON 2023.
After drawing a blank in Equatorial Guinea's 1-1 draw with Nigeria in their Group A opener, Nsue got a hat-trick in a 4-2 victory over Guinea-Bissau.
He then netted twice in a stunning 4-0 win over tournament hosts Ivory Coast.
Nsue had a big chance to add to his tally further in the round of 16 but he missed a penalty kick before Equatorial Guinea lost 1-0 to Guinea.
Mallorca-born Nsue is Equatorial Guinea's all-time leading scorer with 22 goals in 43 games.
He began playing for the Central African country in 2013 after failing to make the Spain squad for the 2012 Olympic Games.
Nsue spent three and a half seasons in England between August 2014 and January 2017.
He scored three goals in 80 games for Middesbrough before netting once in 38 outings for Birmingham.
He has also represented Mallorca, Castellon, Real Sociedad, APOEL, Apollon Limassol and Tuzla City during his club career.
