Gabriel Osho had a debut to remember for newly promoted French Ligue 1 side Auxerre in their opening league game against Nice, OwnGoalnigeria.com reports.
Signed on a free transfer from relegated English Premier League side Luton Town, the 26 year old endeared himself to fans of the club with a faultless performance as they celebrate their return to the top flight with a 2-1 win.
Osho lasted the entire duration of the game showing remarkable composure in and out of possession. He was solid in tackles and completed 44 passes much to the admiration of his coach, who praised his performance afterwards.
Called up to the squad of the senior national team of Nigeria for the friendly games against Ghana and Mali in March, he withdrew from the games after picking up a knock that kept him out for a month.
His move to France will no doubt put him back in the frame for another call up to the Nigerian team, with new coach Janne Andersson keen on players playing regularly for teams in top division.
