Super Eagles Warned About Overreliance on Osimhen for 2026 World Cup Qualifiers
Former Nigerian striker Brown Ideye has warned the current Super Eagles team about their overreliance on Victor Osimhen's goal-scoring prowess as they prepare for the 2026 World Cup qualifiers. Osimhen recently scored a hat-trick in a match against Benin Republic, bringing his tally to 29 goals in 42 appearances.
Ideye highlighted the lack of goal contributions from other Super Eagles players like Tolu Arokodare, Semi Ajayi, and others, urging the team's strikers to step up their game. This raises concerns about the team's forward line dynamics and the need for more goal-scoring options beyond Osimhen.
