Victor Osimhen Contemplates January Loan Move as He Sets Sights on Eagles’ World Cup Berth

In a strategic move to secure regular playing time, Wolfsburg’s Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen, is poised to embark on a potential loan spell in January, with aspirations of clinching a spot in the Super Eagles’ roster for the upcoming World Cup. This revelation comes as Osimhen, despite featuring for a mere six minutes in the current German Bundesliga season, has consistently demonstrated his prowess in test matches.
Sources close to the 2015 FIFA U-17 World Cup top scorer have informed us that Osimhen’s representatives are meticulously evaluating the optimal choice for the player leading up to the imminent transfer window. The insider emphasized the necessity for Osimhen to engage in regular play, stating, “Nobody loves being on the bench, but in his case, he needs to play regularly to improve and stand a chance of fighting for a place in the Super Eagles.”
At the age of 19, Osimhen has received invitations to join the Super Eagles, although he was not actively involved in the World Cup qualifiers. Despite this, he remains optimistic about securing a coveted spot in the squad for the upcoming Russia 2018 World Cup, for which Nigeria secured qualification last Saturday.
Wolfsburg currently occupies the 12th position in the Bundesliga table, amassing seven points from seven games. As they prepare to face Bayer Leverkusen this Sunday, Osimhen’s potential loan move adds an intriguing dimension to the narrative, highlighting the strategic decisions players make to enhance their competitive edge on both domestic and international fronts.
