If anyone had any doubts who is the most dangerous striker at the upcoming AFCON, look no further than Victor Osimhen. Nigeria’s striker was by far the best scorer during the qualifying matches for the Africa’s biggest tournament. Napoli’s forward scored 10 goals in six matches for Nigeria, averaging an impressive 1.6 goals per match. On top of that, Osimhen achieved a remarkable four-goal feat against Sao Tome and Principe and a hat-trick against the same opponent. Way below on the scorers list are Sadio Mané (Senegal), Youseff Msakni (Tunisia), Patson Daka (Zambia), and Louis Mafouta (Central African Republic), all with five goals each.

The other positions in the squad are not so strong, but the Napoli striker believes in success. “We are capable of winning this tournament because the squad is packed with players who are performing exceptionally well for their European clubs. All of us are desperate to make up for failing to reach the 2022 World Cup. The only way we can achieve that goal is by winning the Cup of Nations” said Osimhen prior to leaving Italy. The heaviest possible blow for Super Eagles: Boniface is out of AFCON!The Super Eagle is perfectly aware that he and his teammates owe their fans some joy, after infamously crashed out at home against Ghana (1-1) in the World Cup qualifiers 2022.”We could not have asked for more from our supporters in Abuja that night. They roared us on from the first whistle to the last. The noise they created was deafening. but we let them down and that hurt. Nigerians deserved better” says Osimhen, whose team is paired up with hosts Ivory Coast, along with Guinea-Bissau and Equatorial Guinea in Group A. ##NAJAVA_MECA_7788978##
