Victor Osimhen hopes he can help the Super Eagles claim the title at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations.
Osimhen has achieved a lot at club level including his recent Scudetto triumph with Napoli and is hoping to replicate similar form for the Super Eagles.
“The Super Eagles have a history closely linked to the AFCON but since 2013, we have been looking for a new coronation, it’s been more than a decade, that’s a long time for a football-loving country like Nigeria,” he told CAFonline.
“We are the country of Jay-Jay Okocha, of Nwankwo Kanu, our illustrious elders of whom we are the heirs, we must restore this image so dear to our heart.”
Despite a daunting task, Osimhen believes he’s put in enough works over the years and keeps challenging himself for every task.
“You know, I come from far away, I made a lot of sacrifices to realize the dream of becoming a professional footballer. I don’t take anything for granted. I always challenge myself on the pitch, score more goals, provide more assists, each time, I challenge myself,” he stated. READ ALSO:

“Many people, myself first and foremost, have a lot of hope in our generation. We know what we are capable of, we know what we want. Cote d’Ivoire is a wonderful country, but we are not here for tourism.”
