Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has stated that midfielder Raphael Onyedika is the most underrated player representing Nigeria in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) in Morocco.

Osimhen praised Onyedika’s contributions to Eric Chelle’s team, emphasizing that the Club Brugge star has not received the recognition he rightfully deserves, particularly after scoring two goals in the recent match against Uganda.

“Onyedika has been one of our top players, and often, he does not receive the attention he merits,” Osimhen commented, as reported by Flashscore.

“He is truly a talented player, and based on his performance against Uganda, I believe he deserves to be in the spotlight.”

Onyedika is set to be a crucial player for Nigeria in their upcoming AFCON Round of 16 match against Mozambique on Monday.
