    He was born in England and you are calling him a Nigerian forward knowing the fact that England might call him in future if his talents really worthy of invitation. Besides, nobody has seek the opinion of the young boy if he really wants to play for his parents place of birth.

  • Osimhen should humbly apologize to Victor Ikpeba and begin to work on his shooting acuracy and ability to beat his marker before shooting sometimes to avoid his marker blocking his shot.

    All the best Osigoal!!!
