Former skipper of the Nigeria Super Eagles, Nwankwo Kanu has declared that Nigeria striker, Victor Osimhen can challenge Liverpool dou of Mohammed Sala and Saidu Mane and other top Africa players for the Africa footballer of the year award.
Speaking with www.theajasanews.com at the occasion of walk with Kanu program which took place in Abuja on Wednesday the former Africa footballer of the year winner himself expressed total satisfaction with the goal scoring form of the Napoli striker.
“Osimhen is doing fantastically well in Italy. If he keeps on doing it and keeps on doing it definitely he will be there. We have other players who are doing well but for now he is the one on top,”
Speaking on the Super Eagles chances of qualifying for the World and even going further to do well at the tournament he noted that the team is so capable of springing surprise but stressed that the coaching crew led by Genort Rorh must be up and doing.
” You asked me if we have the best squad I will tell you yes. Look at where they are all playing, they are doing very well. The most important thing is for the coaches to put the right players were they are supposed to be and make sure they push them. They can do more than what they currently doing. Everybody is afraid of Nigeria. Presently if you mention the first four players in Africa Nigeria players are there,” he stated.
