  • Post category:Sports

After scoring his 20th goal for Nigeria on Sunday, Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has instilled confidence in Nigerians who believe that he will soon become the all-time highest goal scorer for the country. Osimhen netted a hat-trick in the 6-0 victory over Sao Tome and Principe in Uyo on Sunday, bringing his total to 20 goals in 26 games. He now needs 17 more goals to match Rashidi Yekini’s long-standing record of 37 goals.

Osimhen has already surpassed other notable Nigerian goal scorers like Obafemi Martins, who had 18 goals, and Ikechukwu Uche, who had 19 goals. He currently stands just behind Yakubu Aiyegbeni with 21 goals, Segun Odegbami with 23, and Yekini with 37.

Enthusiastic fans are optimistic about Osimhen’s potential to break the all-time scoring record for Nigeria. UK-based football analyst Dez Footie noted that Osimhen moved up from sixth to second place on the all-time Nigeria scorer rankings with his 20 goals. Fans and analysts alike have praised Osimhen’s incredible talent and anticipate even greater achievements in his career. Osimhen was also recognized for finishing as the top scorer in the AFCON 2023 qualifiers with 10 goals, and he was nominated alongside Asisat Oshoala for the Ballon d’Or award.
