The search for a top number 9 for Nigeria has been on for a while after the exit of the legendary Nigerias attacker Rashidi Yekini.

We have seen the likes of Yakubu aiyegbeni, victor Agali, Obafemi Martins etc yet Nigeria has not gotten that top 9 player that guarantees goal in every game.

But yesterday Victor Osimhen proved again he is the man for the occasion

When the dream team was at the brink of exit Osimhen make the comback posible with a hattrick and an assist.

At the u17. He holds the record with the highest goal scorer with ten goals

In december he had 2 goals and an assist to win the player of the month in his league

Yesterday he made sure Ahmed Musa caught out 4million cos he scored a hatric plus an assist

.
With Ighalo ageing do you think

Victor Osimhen. Is that top 9, the clinical finisher, Nigeria has been waiyting for.

Victor Oshimen
4. Style of play

Victor Oshimen is a central striker who thrives went occupying advancing positions in the opponents half or penalty box.

He has always stated that his hero is Didier Drogba and over the course of his career he has fashioned out a way to impose himself on opposing defenders.

Osihmen can play as a lone striker and can also fit in with a roaming forward who can take away the attention of defenders away from him when the ball is delivered into the box.

Still very young, Oshimen is showing signs at Charleroi that he is a poacher and has a natural instinct for finding the back of the net.

5. Awards

Victor Osimhen is young and is yet to win any individual or collective awards with his club sides.

On the international scene, he contributed a great deal at Nigeria won the 2015 U-17 World Cup and was awarded the golden boot for top scorer and silver ball as the second best player at the tournam

They have come again. That's how they overate players and give Nigerians false hope. What has the player in question done to warrant this ambiguous comparison? He has great talent, no doubts, but to begin now to compare home with Yekini is a misplaced accolade.

After just one match.

'94 squad still the best so far, I pray we get that kind of talented bunch of players once again.

He is 19 and then he is still 20 yrs old?
Anyway let's give him sometime cos it's too early to raise our hopes, he could even be a "flash in the pan" because yekini boots are too big even the likes of Martin and Yak could not fill

They wan jinx him now.... Haba just one match b4 u know it gets to their head n the player won't live up to expectation again. Make Una wait first let's see more of him shuu..

What of Julius Aghahowa?

You guys should just take it easy, that was how we used mouth to chase Okocha away thinking Mikel will take us to the promise land. Once he starts reading headlines like this he starts misbehaving like typical a Nigerian.

This is just one match with the under 23

You people have started again oh. That how they turned Stanley okoro who's older than Stephen keshi to little Messi. Now okoro is no where to be found. Stop putting pressure on these guys let them grow. Just one good match now they won't give him breathing space. If he fumbles in just one match again they will say he is the most useless player ever. To be a Nigerian footballer no be beans

Re: Is Victor Osimhen The New 'Yekini' Of Nigeria.


Super Eagles are currently on 21.99 to Win 2-1 on NaijaBet

Not by hattrick in one under-23 game.

His club goal record has not been fantastic.

Chill you lot, where is my Emenike that time? This was how we started thinking he was the dream 9 we've been looking for after scoring few goals

Edos to the world.. edo amaka
