Nigeria’s star striker, Victor Osimhen, has etched his name deeper into the history books by becoming the country’s second all-time top scorer.
The Napoli forward netted his 25th goal for the Super Eagles, surpassing the legendary Segun Odegbami, who held a tally of 23 goals.
Osimhen’s latest achievement further cements his status as one of Nigeria’s greatest strikers, continuing his remarkable goal-scoring form on the international stage.
With his blend of pace, power, and clinical finishing, the 25-year-old has been a key figure in Nigeria’s attack, playing a crucial role in recent campaigns.
The only player ahead of Osimhen in Nigeria’s all-time scoring charts is the iconic Rashidi Yekini, who scored 37 goals for the Super Eagles.
Given Osimhen’s consistency and age, many believe he has a strong chance of breaking that record in the near future.
Football fans and analysts have taken to social media to celebrate Osimhen’s latest milestone, recognizing his contributions to Nigerian football and his growing legacy in international football.
As he continues to shine both for club and country, the question remains: Can Osimhen surpass Yekini and become Nigeria’s greatest-ever goal scorer? Time will tell.
