AFCON 2025: Osimhen Is Eagles’ Biggest Player –Ighalo

 

Former Nigerian international Odion Ighalo has described Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as the biggest player in the senior national team.

Ighalo stated this on the backdrop of his brilliant performance in Nigeria’s 2-0 win over Algeria in the quarter-finals of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations on Saturday.

Recall that the Galatasaray striker scored a goal and provided an assist for Akor Adams to also score. It was Osimhen’s fourth goal at the tournament.

Reacting after the game, Ighalo, who was a guest on Super Sports 2025 AFCON coverage, stated that Nigeria can only get the best from Osimhen when he’s angry.
