The Digest:
Former Super Eagles coach Sunday Oliseh has praised the attacking trio of Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, and Akor Adams, describing them as a "joy to watch" as they dismantle European defences. Since the start of the 2025-2026 season, Osimhen has scored 28 goals for Galatasaray, Adams 12 for Sevilla, and Lookman 11 for Atletico Madrid, totalling 51 goals. However, Oliseh warned that the Super Eagles face significant hurdles, saying: "Even the best fuel is useless if the engine is broken."
Key Points:
- Nigeria failed to qualify for consecutive World Cups despite having world-class talent.
- Oliseh urged the NFF to begin long-term planning for the 2030 World Cup qualifiers.
- Many current squad players may not be available for the next tournament.
- The trio's combined 51 goals highlight Nigeria's attacking firepower.
- Nigeria will compete in the 2026 Unity Cup in London against Jamaica, Zimbabwe, and India.
