Nigeria’s Super Eagles plamaker, Alex Iwobi has revealed that there is no need for Nigeria national football team to be searching for a top striker to replace Odion Ighalo with Lille striker, Victor Osimhen in the team.
The Everton winger believed that Oshimhen is a perfect replacement for Ighalo who call it quit with his international career shortly after the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations.
“The good thing for us when we were in the last tournament we were in, we are a very young squad and we got a lot of young talents coming through as well.
“Unfortunately Mikel and Ighalo won’t be with us anymore for the future but there’s a lot of young talents, like Victor Osimhen can take Ighalo’s role, not only Victor,” the former Arsenal player said.
Iwobi, who is also an active member of the present squad of youthful Super Eagles said Osimhen, who has been performing excellently well since the exit of Ighalo, scoring four goals in as many matches, can take the national team to greater height.
