Jose Peseiro opened up about the immense impact Victor Osimhen has had on the Super Eagles dressing room since his arrival.
The Napoli striker has become an important player for the national team, scoring 5 goals in 2 AFCON Qualifying matches and acting as a great motivator to his teammates.
Peseiro stated that “he is a leader and thanks to his performances he has been able to take the dressing room.”
Despite becoming one of Nigeria’s most saleable players in Europe at the moment, Osimhen remains humble; according to Peseiro, this is just another trait that makes him such an invaluable member of the team.
Osimhen missed out Nigeria’s last two matches with Algeria and Portugal but is expected to be named back into the squad for the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying games against Guinea Bissau in March.
