I’LL DO EVERYTHING TO BRING HOME AFCON TROPHY — OSIMHEN
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen says he is prepared to give his all to win the AFCON trophy for Nigeria.
Osimhen has been one of the standout performers in the tournament as he helped the Eagles reach the quarter-finals.
It was his unrelenting pressing that saw him outmuscle a Cameroonian defender before setting up Ademola Lookman for the opener.
The reigning African Player of the Year has only scored one goal in this year’s AFCON which was against Equatorial Guinea.
Now the Eagles striker has opened up on his desire to win the tournament with the current squad.
“I want to win something with this great squad,” he was quoted on Osasu Obayiuwana’s X handle.
“I want to give Nigeria something that they will remember. I’m giving everything to come home with the [AFCON] trophy.”
The Eagles will hope to forge ahead in the tournament when they take on Angola on Friday.
The Angolans trounced Namibia 3-0 to reach the last eight.
