We have osimhen we no need Tammy
Osimhen is the perfect striker that the SE have wanted as a replacement for Ighalo. Give him the chance and he will prove to be worthy of being the SE striker. Quite honestly, I am surprised I did not see his name in the list of the upcoming friendly against Ukraine. Mr Rohr, pay attention or walk.
Check again
If you check the right list , you will see his name was the last on the list, so easy to find.
My mistake. Happy to see he is on the list.
Osimhen wins player of the month in Lille,
Moses Simon nominated for player of the Month in Nantes,
Okereke nominated for player of the month in Bruge,
Ndidi nominated for goal of the month in Leicester city FC
It is however a shame that the NFf invited 52 players for both the match against the Ukraine and the Under 23 matches against Sudan, but Okereke was dropped for both
