Super Eagles assistant captain, Victor Osimhen, has named two former Nigerian strikers who inspire his football career for the national team.
Osimhen spoke while admitting that he didn’t watch the late legendary Nigerian striker, Rashidi Yekini play for the Super Eagles.
The Galatasaray striker is just two goals away from equalling Yekini’s 37 goals for Nigeria.
“Although I didn’t watch Rashidi Yekini in blessed memory played. But he’s done something that has inspired a lot of people, which inspires me,” Osimhen said via CBS Sports Golazo.
“Also, like Odion Ighalo, whom I draw a lot of inspiration from, as well as Obafemi Martins. So for me, it would be up there on the verge of trying to break Yekini’s record.
“It’s something I will never forget in my life. It’s something I will hold on higher esteem, it’s an honour for me,” he said.
