Nigeria's national team, the Super Eagles, has been blessed with an array of talented players over the years. However, one player who has consistently stood out is Victor Osimhen. The Galatasaray striker has been in phenomenal form, delivering crucial goals for both club and country.
Osimhen's rise to prominence began in 2017 when he made his debut for the Super Eagles. Since then, he has scored 23 goals and provided 11 assists in 39 appearances, catapulting him to second on Nigeria's all-time goalscorers list.
Former Nigerian international Peter Rufai has praised Osimhen's work ethic and dedication to excellence. "Osimhen's hunger for goals is unmatched," Rufai told Completesports. "He always gives his best whenever he represents the Super Eagles."
Osimhen's absence often leaves a void in Nigeria's attack, with other strikers struggling to replicate his output. Rufai acknowledged that other Nigerian strikers occasionally struggle under pressure, especially during critical matches.
Osimhen's most recent international goal came in Nigeria's 1-1 draw with Benin Republic, securing the Super Eagles' place at the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco. With his scintillating club form this season, Osimhen continues to prove himself as a vital cog in Nigeria's success.
