The search for a top number 9 for Nigeria has been on for a while after the exit of the legendary Nigerias attacker Rashidi Yekini. We have seen the likes of Yakubu aiyegbeni, victor Agali, Obafemi Martins etc yet Nigeria has not gotten that top 9 player that guarantees goal in every game. But yesterday Victor Osimhen proved again he is the man for the occasion When the dream team was at the brink of exit Osimhen make the comback posible with a hattrick and an assist. At the u17. He holds the record with the highest goal scorer with ten goals In december he had 2 goals and an assist to win the player of the month in his league Yesterday he made sure Ahmed Musa caught out 4million cos he scored a hatric plus an assist . With Ighalo ageing do you think Victor Osimhen. Is that top 9, the clinical finisher, Nigeria has been waiyting for. Source: Robosky2 16 Likes 3 Shares

Previous clubs Victor Osimhen started his youth career with Ultimate Strikers Academy in Nigeria before he moved to Europe. He did not play in the Nigeria Professional Football League (NPFL) moved he moved to Europe. After in an impressive at the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup, Osihmen who was the top scorer at the competition secured a move abroad to German Bundesliga giants VfL Wolfsburg. The move to Wolfsburg happened during the winter transfer window of 2017 after a successful trial with the club. He, however, struggled to live up to the high standards which were expected of him. After squandering several opportunities to prove himself, Osimhen was loaned out by Wolfsburg to where he has turned into a goal machine. 3. Osimhen and Nigeria Victor Osimhen was born in Nigeria and grew up in the academy systems before a breakthrough. He represented Nigeria at the 2015 FIFA World Cup held in Chile playing a crucial role for the national under 17 team Golden Eaglets who emerged victorious.

He was given his second cap by Rohr as the Super Eagles crashed at home to the Bafana Bafana of South Africa in the first game of the 2019 AFCON qualification rounds. Victor Oshimen 4. Style of play Victor Oshimen is a central striker who thrives went occupying advancing positions in the opponents half or penalty box. He has always stated that his hero is Didier Drogba and over the course of his career he has fashioned out a way to impose himself on opposing defenders. Osihmen can play as a lone striker and can also fit in with a roaming forward who can take away the attention of defenders away from him when the ball is delivered into the box. Still very young, Oshimen is showing signs at Charleroi that he is a poacher and has a natural instinct for finding the back of the net. 5.

They have come again. That's how they overate players and give Nigerians false hope. What has the player in question done to warrant this ambiguous comparison? He has great talent, no doubts, but to begin now to compare home with Yekini is a misplaced accolade. 75 Likes 1 Share |

There can only be one Rashidi. He had pace...he had strength. He had a bullet shot and a poacher's instinct. Best Number 9 in Nigeria's history. He would have beaten Laurent Pokou's CAF record if not for Abacha.

He is 19 and then he is still 20 yrs old? Anyway let's give him sometime cos it's too early to raise our hopes, he could even be a "flash in the pan" because yekini boots are too big even the likes of Martin and Yak could not fill 6 Likes |

You guys should just take it easy, that was how we used mouth to chase Okocha away thinking Mikel will take us to the promise land. Once he starts reading headlines like this he starts misbehaving like typical a Nigerian. This is just one match with the under 23 5 Likes |

You people have started again oh. That how they turned Stanley okoro who's older than Stephen keshi to little Messi. Now okoro is no where to be found. Stop putting pressure on these guys let them grow. Just one good match now they won't give him breathing space. If he fumbles in just one match again they will say he is the most useless player ever.
