Nigeria’s goals will come from Victor Osimhen – Jonathan Akpoborie

Jonathan Akpoborie, a former Wolfsburg and Super Eagles forward, has praised Napoli star Victor Osimhen for his talent and attacking abilities.

Speaking to Soccernet, Akpoborie stated that Osimhen had attributes that Nigeria may capitalize on in upcoming games against Ghana.

He stated that the Napoli striker will be a proud addition to any top team in Europe and that he is the striker that Nigerians have long desired.

“I saw that game (Napoli against Udinese) and he’s the real deal,” he said.

”When Nigeria says they’re looking for a striker, that is the striker we are looking for. Any top club in Europe will be proud to have Osimhen today. And what Napoli do is to play to his strength,” he added.

“They do everything for him to score goals that you see. He’s not playing to wait for the ball to come through the middle. Napoli most of the time go the wings and the pull-outs are what they give to him everytime,”

“If you watch Napoli play, about 70% of their attacks come from the wing because they know if they pull out, the boy has strength there,”

“That’s what I believe Nigeria should be doing. That’s what the coach should be working on because that’s where our goals will come from.” he concluded.
