Former Nigerian international, Etim Esim has revealed that Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen remains the team’s undisputed number one striker at the moment.
He made this known in a chat with Completesports.com ahead of the Super Eagles 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying clash against Sao Tome in Uyo.
Esin’s reaction is on the backdrop of the arrival of Bundesliga top striker, Victor Boniface and also Gift Organ, who has been scoring goals for Gent in the Belgian League.
“I really don’t think there is any striker that can displace Osimhen from that position.
” Osimhen remains Eagles undisputed striker as far as I am concern. In Europe at the moment, he’s second after Man City’s Erling Haaland. The likes of Boniface and Orban are good players took but Osimhen is still the best.”

The way some of these old players talk you will wonder if they are not trying to sow seeds of discords between national team players… It shows the mindset they have. The national team is for everyone, all of a sudden Orban and Boniface are invited and then all these talks of Osimhen is undisputed first choice striker for Super Eagles… that talk is needless, let’s see what others can also bring to the table. Infact I even expect Osimhen not to start next match. Let’s see Orban and Boniface start from left wing and centre forward positions respectively. Nothing at stake for Osimhen to start that game.
These kind of talks doesn’t help the national team, CS try as much as possible to limit the comparison conversations so that the national team players will not be opposing themselves in secrets for the good of the team. Else during matches everyone will be playing to gallery at the detriment of the team. Football is a team work and not a personal thing!!!
CS reporters need to always call Etim, Lawal, Disu, Shorunmu, Babangida, etc. for their regular “World Exclusives” that add no value to the team but only sow seeds of rivalry and unhealthy competition in the SE. Empty talks that should not be even remotely classified as “Exclusives.” These guys need to consult the dictionary. They may even delete this comment as they’re often doing lately.
Exclusives are like the story of NFF extending Peseiro’s contract on reduced pay. They’re higher-level scoops/stories that are of wide interest to the readership and not yet in the public domain. Exclusives are not common knowledge. Just publish your interview without the click-bait superlative “Exclusive.”

This Etim is becoming a talkative , why don’t you let the coach to decide!
Enough of this comparison, let every invited players contribute His own and leave coach with headache of selection. If you can’t help coach with effective combination of players then stop this comparison, capable of sowing of appel of discord.
victor boniface will add the necessary dynamic to the super eagles attack that will take alot of pressure off victor osimhen and make he attack more potent, with his runs, hold up plai, skill and goal scoring ability
Erin needs white envelope from the players, guys ignore him, Boniface and gift are here to stay. Nobody has the monopoly to the super Eagles jersey. Tella is coming soon.
