Awoniyi should replace Osimhen not Ighalo – Fans

Fans have tipped Union Berlin striker, Taiwo Awoniyi, to be the direct replacement for the injured Victor Osimhen at the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations in Cameroon next year.

The delayed AFCON is billed to hold from January 9 to February 6 but the Super Eagles will be their star striker Osimhen who has been ruled out of action for at least three months due to a fractured cheekbone which was operated on Tuesday.

The 22-year-old sustained the injury after a collision with Inter defender Milan Skriniar in their 3-2 loss to the champions on Sunday.

The Napoli striker has been the first choice striker for the Eagles since the retirement of former Manchester United striker Odion Ighalo after the 2019 AFCON in Egypt where he played an understudy role.

With the striker out of the competition, fans believe in-form Union Berlin striker Awoniyi should get the nod to fill the spot ahead of Paul Onuachu, Terem Moffi, Emmanuel Dennis, Cyriel Dessers amongst others.

Reacting to the news fans have called on the Nigeria Football Federation and national team coach to make Awoniyi a top priority for the position ahead of returning Odion Ighalo and others.

“Taiwo Awoniyi should be brought in, he is clear of Ighalo,” Damilare Eluwole tweeted.

Awoniyi should replace Osimhen not Ighalo – Fans

“Taiwo Awoniyi should be brought in, he is clear of Ighalo,” Damilare Eluwole tweeted.

And how does a single Tweet by Damilare constitute a demand by fans

I see Nigeria qualifying for the world cup, I see them making it to the semi finals.

This I have seen.

Awoniyi vs Ighalo: let the competition begins. Zoogeria is a funny country. An old cargo that is finished in football is competing with a capable young blood. I laugh in Swahili. Thank God I am a full-blooded Biafran

Ighalo was already called up alongside Osimhen not as his replacement so this topic is moot.

The best stylistic replacement is Dennis. That guy has the same hustle and work rate and is clinical too.

Awoniyi alongside Emmanuel and Dessers. I love those guys.

Is awoniyi better than emmanuel dennis and paul onuachu?

When a single supporter of say Chelsea FC can say "I be Chelsea fans", anything goes bro. All the advises and informations about Taiwo is what has empowered the single "fans"

Is it so hard to make your point without making condescending passes at your country? Is it so hard? You have been a Nigerian. Your loved ones have been Nigerians. How come it's now suddenly a zoo?

Ighalo fuckd up. Make him resign jeje like Enyema did and here he has rein the little respect Nigerian has for him . Till tomorrow. Enyeama has written his name in the good books of Nigerians . He left when the occasion was loud and Honorable.

Cyriel Dessers is also there but this man keeps fumbling

We have Emmanuel Dennis ó, yet they're thinking of ighalo. This country just like putting old people in delicate positions.

Anyway fear benin people ighalo must have contacted his village witch doctor to be witch oshimen we sha find out d truth soon.

Ighalo should rest
