No doubt, Victor Osimhen is now one of the most prolific goal scorers in Europe's elite leagues, and as it stands, the Super Eagles point man is not applying the brakes anytime soon. Victor Osimhen is a Beast In Football.
Only on Friday night, the Napoli SC front man repaid the tons of praises hipped on him by Coach Spaletti, who a few days ago said the 25 year old has truly matured as a striker, and his recent exploits was clear proof that footballers that play the game with passion will always stand out.
In the match against Juventus, Victor Osimhen scored twice, and gave one assist in a high profile Serie A game, against the Old Lady of Turin, Juventus.
Aside the couple of goals, the assist Osimhen gave was spectacularly magnificent, and is still being talked about by Pundits reviewing the match on all major outlets, and networks.
Oshimen, whose reputation as a prolific striker first bared his raw fangs during the 2015 FIFA Under-15 World Cup; capped the final pass, by dribbling opposing Juve players, almost to the death.
This prompted the fans to chant his name several times, in a clear show of appreciation to their new idol and goal machine.
Victor Osimhen has this season remained consistent in form and has matched his ranking with consistent performances, that have seen the prodigy chaurn out goals, week in week out.
No doubt, his recent exploits have made Nigerians to be prouder of their starboy, who has worked so hard physically and psychologically to attain his present level of maturity.
After the disappointments of missing out of the World Cup in Qatar; the Super Eagles should expect Coach José Peseiro to lead a reengineered Nigerian squad to win the 2023 Afcon tournament in Côte d'Ivoire, enroute qualifying the Eagles for the 2026 in the Americas.
To achieve this, the stature of Oshimen as a player has to be replicated in four departments, attack, playmaking, defending and goalkeeping.
While Osimhen's status at both club and country should also confer on him some leadership role in the Super Eagles; his appreciating stock, as one of the leading scores in the Italian top flight, would be beneficial in improving the psyche and actual play of his team mates, in the national side.
His knack for goals, and attributes as a goal getter with never say die spirit, whilst on the field of play are worth being carefully dissected and analysed.
Simply put, Victor Osimhen is a gift to Nigeria football from the God of Soccer, and at the moment Nigeria through the NFF should cherish his astronomical rise in Stature and profile as a goal machine for club and country.
