Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen is gearing up to rejoin Nigeria’s national team, following his recent stellar form with Galatasaray. Named in Augustine Eguavoen’s squad for the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers against Benin Republic and Rwanda, Osimhen returns with renewed confidence after missing Nigeria’s last two matches against Libya.
Osimhen made a significant impact in Galatasaray’s recent 3-2 win over Samsunspor, scoring two goals to bring his season tally to eight. This impressive display has bolstered his confidence as he prepares to return to international duty. After the match, Osimhen expressed how the victory lifted his spirits and how he plans to carry this positive momentum into the AFCON qualifiers. “This win was important,” Osimhen stated, adding, “We will join the Super Eagles with this confidence and have the strength to win.”
Since joining Galatasaray, Osimhen has quickly gained a devoted fanbase, which he acknowledged, dedicating the recent victory to supporters who have embraced him in Istanbul. With Galatasaray leading the Turkish Super Lig by six points, his contributions have solidified his standing as a valuable player.
As Nigeria readies for crucial matches against Benin and Rwanda, the Nigerian football community eagerly awaits Osimhen’s return to the national lineup, hoping his strong form will be a boost for the Super Eagles.
