Former Super Eagles captain Sunday Oliseh has identified striker Victor Osimhen as Nigeria’s premier player at this time.
According to Oliseh, if Osimhen performs in his next four matches as he did against the Benin Republic in the World Cup qualifier, he will be moving to the Premier League for a substantial fee.
Osimhen, who has previously attracted interest from Premier League clubs such as Chelsea, Manchester United, and Arsenal, scored a hat-trick against the Benin Republic to secure Nigeria's spot in the World Cup playoffs earlier this week.
Speaking on his podcast, Oliseh stated: “Regarding Osimhen, I believe in the next three or four matches. If Osimhen continues to play like he did against Benin, I can guarantee that within the next one or two years, he will be heading to the Premier League. And they will pay a significant amount for him.”
“He is currently our best player, even though Lookman is slightly rated higher as he is the reigning African Player of the Year.”
“However, when discussing quality and the impact a player has on the game, he stands out as the best.”
