Former Super Eagles captain, Sunday Oliseh has commented on striker Victor Osimhen’s lack of goals for the Super Eagles of Nigeria at the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, in Morocco.
Osimhen has so far scored one goal for Nigeria after three matches for Eric Chelle’s side.
The Galatasaray attacker will hope to find the back of the net when the Super Eagles face Mozambique in Monday’s Round of 16 tie.
Asked about Osimhen’s lack of goals for Nigeria so far at the AFCON, Oliseh revealed one very interesting fact about the former Napoli man at the tournament, noting that the former Lille striker wants to score goals.
“Osimhen wants to score. I think it’s in his best interest that he scores goals, but what he is been doing that I find very interesting is that and especially in the last game [Nigeria vs Uganda], what I liked was that he was looking more collective,” Oliseh said on Global Football Insight.
“He was looking for a way to find ways to play, and I think that is good. Look at the last AFCON, he scored only one goal, and we got to the final.
“If he is going to score one goal again and Nigeria gets to the final, then let him score just one goal, I will take that one over scoring six goals, and Nigeria goes out.”
