Former Arsenal and Super Eagles striker Kanu Nwankwo has expressed confident that that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen could become the next Nigerian to be crowned African Footballer of The Year, Newspremises reports.

Osimhen is currently the highest goalscorer in Europe, and his club, Napoli lead in the Serie A and Kanu, who was the last Nigerian to win the African Player of The Year award in 1999 after winning it earlier in 1996 said that the performance of Osimhen in the Italian Seria A is a clear indication that he can win the coveted award soon.

Kanu made the disclosure while speaking after the World Heart Day walk in Abuja on Wednesday, September 29, 2021.

“Osimhen, if you ask me, is the best player in Italy and if any of the current crop of Nigerian players is going to win the African Player of The Year award, it has to be him. He is doing fantastically well in the Italian Serie A that it’s only a matter of time before he rules Africa,” Kanu said.

“He is the best player and top scorer in the Italian league now and if he maintains his form he will win the African Player of The Year award sooner than expected. There are other Nigerian players doing very well in Europe, but Osimhen is presently the best.”

He however, urged Osimhen not to get carried away by the accolades he has been getting, but continue working hard for both club and country.

You are a clown.

Osimhen is a striker. . He is mobile with the ball and can beat his opposition with good speed.

His uses his head and legs well and has good passing and crossing range.

He is one of the best strikers in Europe right now and indeed amongst the top 10.

Strikers don't really need to be dribbling man. .

Salah
Mane
Mahrez
Wilfred Zaha are still ahead of him.
But I like the boy because he seems like a workaholic as C. Ronaldo

Ok. Nice
