Ahead of the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, former Super Eagles striker, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, has tagged Odion Ighalo as the best striker in Super Eagles squad.

Strikers like Paul Onuachi, Victor Osimhen and Isaac Success have proven their worth in the squad, but Aiyegbeni believes Ighalo’s wealth of experience in the team and his current rich vein of form give him an edge above them all.

“If Ighalo continues scoring this way it will be very difficult for him to be benched.“He’s (Ighalo) is the Super Eagles best striker at the moment, no doubt.“

They have good strikers coming into the team at the moment – the likes of Osimhen, Onuachu and the likes, but he (Ighalo) possesses everything you need in a striker to get the goals.

“He’s experienced, matured and prolific.“Osimhen is another player who could fill the void in his absence, but with decent supplies Ighalo will deliver,” Yakubu said

Bcus both of you are from same state n he is a good misser like u

Always striking over the bar

Big mistake ...Nigeria will never learn...


Osimhen is the best for now

Whenever Nigerians hear Aiyegbeni, they always remember his 2010 missed goal...

Coming from the man who knows how to miss empty net

I will never forgive you for that goal you missed in 2010 world cup

Feed d yak

Lol....two world cup best misser

See who dey suggest

Even you dey recommend striker, no be the same Ighalo we see for world cup

Yak the bull

One of the worst striker Nigeria has ever had. Not surprise he is endorsing Ighalo.

Rhor should draft in Samuel from Villarreal, he has hood potentials

Don't suggest those that will miss goals like you.

Story for the gods

*If you are a married man and still see school girls very attractive*

Please buy your wife a school uniform...

Aiyegbeni is from Edo state, while Ighalo and Osimhen are from Edo state too. Is it coincidence that he is praising and recommending the duo?

Anyway. I agree with him on Ighalo, but not on Osimhen. Scoring against some underage Libyan farmers doesn't make one a good enough striker for the senior team.

Stop it and move on.

True word it seems with the current crops it's not just because he, Ighalo and Osimhen are Esans.
Nigeria first....

thank you...I was about saying this...

Nice

Sometimes,I don't blame players who refused to play for Nigeria,yak played for Nigeria and he is even recognized in the premier league called second to Thierry Henry,we don't appreciate him because of his miss in 2010 but we all have been following the likes of Messi and others who have lost in crucial mathches and still bet your money on them even till now,we can grow this way of we don't appreciate our own thing and accept it the way it is.

your mouth is bitter like Jedi Jedi medicine. l

Where did Aiyegbeni rate that Villareal starlet ? "Chukwueze" , mhen, that guy is a joy to watch ..

Onauchu is the best we have for now. Tall, Agile & Confident on the ball.
