Its disastrous and unnatural for nation like Nigeria that is still searching for depth in the National team to continue ignoring this dude. For Only Osihmen is tested and trusted . In continuation of the search for Osihmens deputy Akpom deserves a look in. The next FiFA window should a good Opportunity . Onuachu et al can wait . They have had their time. Its time to test Oban and Akpom.
*** THE BEST NIGERIA SUPPORTING( not MAIN) STRIKER AT THE MOMENT ***
MOST OTHER NIGERIA GOALSCORING ARE MAIN STRIKER.
CHUBA AKPOM IS THE ONLY NIGERIA TOP SCORER IN EUROPE AS A SUPPORTING STRIKER.
PASEIRO SHOULD GIVE HIM A TRIAL/CHANCE. HE WILL BE A GOOD COMBINATION (as supporting striker) WITH EITHER OSIMHEN, MOFFI,DESSERS, INSTEAD OF WAITING INVITATION WITH IHEANACHO, AWONIYI, ONUACHU, SADIQ (all lack regular playing time)
