The final time I noticed a lethal & a prolific goalscorer within the camp of any of our nationwide groups making ready for a serious event was in 2014/2015 when Emmanuel Amuneke was in cost as the pinnacle coach of Nigeria’s U-17 males’s nationwide crew, the Golden Eaglets. Thesame 12 months, Victor Osimhen was found along with his goalscoring prowess.

Taking a look at what the long run holds, they’re no doubts that Olusegun will change into an enormous participant, adjudging his output, he’s an absolute match winner, the kind that our nationwide crew handlers must keep watch over as nationwide asset.
