The Super Eagles camp has received a significant boost with the arrival of star striker Victor Osimhen, who joined the team ahead of their upcoming crucial qualifiers.
Osimhen, the recent Galatasaray signing, arrived from Turkey on Thursday and quickly linked up with his teammates in Uyo, Akwa Ibom State, where they are preparing for their first match against Benin Republic.
The Nigerian national team, currently under the guidance of interim coach Augustine Eguavoen, faces a tight schedule, with their fixture against Benin Republic in Uyo followed by a trip to Kigali, Rwanda, for another crucial match just three days later.
Osimhen’s arrival was celebrated on the official X (formerly Twitter) account of the Super Eagles, featuring a video of him joining the squad with the caption, “See who’s here! #victorosimhen9! On time for training #soarsupereagles.” His presence is expected to provide a major lift to the squad as they prepare for these important qualifiers.
The Super Eagles will be counting on Osimhen’s form and firepower to help secure the much-needed victories in these matches.
