The Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has acknowledged that Nwankwo Kanu and Austin Okocha are largely responsible for his success. In an interview with AFP, the Napoli player revealed this, saying that Okocha and Kanu had inspired him to pursue a football career. "I used to talk to Jay-Jay Okocha and Nwankwo Kanu. "I believe that they are largely responsible for my achievements as they served as a source of inspiration for me during my formative years," declared Osimhen, who won the Under-17 World Cup in 2015.
It means a lot to me to be ranked in the same category as them, not because I am a better football player than them, but rather because of what I have accomplished. He also conveyed his dissatisfaction with the team's 2023 Africa Cup of Nations game with Equatorial Guinea, ending in a 1-1 stalemate. He declared, "The first game was disappointing." "In the future, we must ensure that we execute well in the upcoming match against a more formidable foe."
