The Digest:
Super Eagles forward Akor Adams has dismissed suggestions of dressing-room unrest following the on-field exchange between Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman during Nigeria's AFCON clash with Mozambique, describing it as "normal" competitive football. Speaking to SportyTV, Adams said: "We all want the same thing. What happened against Mozambique was normal. It could even have happened in training. The most important thing was that we were able to squash it immediately." He defended Osimhen's decision to remain at Galatasaray amid transfer speculation, stating: "The most important thing is that Victor is happy , and a happy Victor is a victorious Victor." Adams also backed coach Eric Chelle, acknowledging the Super Eagles are in transition but have "an amazing crop of players." Reflecting on Nigeria's AFCON exit, he cited fatigue from tight travel schedules before the penalty defeat. Adams revealed his childhood dream club remains Manchester United.
Key Points:

- His defence of Osimhen reinforces team unity despite external speculation.
- Osimhen gains support, while team focuses on future competitions.
