Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has told his international teammates that the Super Eagles of Nigeria has what it takes to lift next year Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen was a part of the team that won bronze at the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations. He was third choice behind the duo of Odion Ighalo and Paul Onuachu at the tournament.
He has since moved up the ladder to the role of first choice striker and after finishing as top scorer in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers he is now focused on winning the tournament proper.
“I think we’ve got everything we need to win the next Afcon and to go even more further to qualify for the World Cup. Because this is a squad that has extremely wonderful talent in this team the from the goalkeepers to the strikers, from the strikers to the bench,” he added.
“Also, of course, we have a very good coach and technical staff that can prepare us well for each game as it comes. And I think for us we have individual players who can individually win games for us. The likes of Kelechi, Samuel Chukwueze, Alex Iwobi, myself, Paul and rest of the of the squad.
“And I know of course, that a lot is being expected from this team regardless of the fact that we’re young. I think with what we got on our side we can really go far as well as winning the Afcon.”
