Osimhen’s inclusion in the list is as a result of his brilliant goal scored against Marseille in Sunday’s matchday 25 game, where he chipped the opposition keeper after he was played through on goal.
However, Lille went on to lose the game 2-1, which was their ninth after 12 wins and four draws.
The Team of The Week which is in a 4-3-3 formation, had Osimhen in the middle of a three-man attack.
Sunday’s goal was Osimhen’s 13th in 24 league games for Lille this season.

There is no stopping this wonderful son of Nigeria. The Nation is extremely lucky to have him. If they can put the two kinsmen together, that is Ighalo & Osimhan, then the Africa Nations Cup is at hand. Should it happen, these two Edo sons will surly break African record.
Please Ighalo, accept our sincere sympathy for the sole loss of your dear sister. Leave everything to God for an explanations.
@Edoman, ighalo has retired, so jst forget him, we’ are talking of a 4-4-2 formation OSIMHEN and IHEANACHO leading the attbck
Again I say fireboy
Osimhen the amotekun of nigerian football. i hail you, thank God for making you a nigerian.
I hope he remains in lille for another year. Kudos to you Oshimen.
Ighalo please don’t mind Edoman, his wooing you back to super eagles to have Edo born strikers leading super eagles attack. You have written your name in the history of Nigeria as one of the best, It may end in shame if you come back. So enjoy your cool money and invest wisely.
