Osimhen Focuses on Team Success Over Yekini's Record Pressure in AFCON 2025
Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen dismisses comparisons to Rashidi Yekini's goal record, emphasizing team success in the ongoing AFCON 2025. Osimhen, captain of Nigeria, prioritizes contributing to team goals and assists rather than chasing individual records.
Despite being five goals away from Yekini's record, Osimhen leads Nigeria with 32 goals. Nigeria secured a 3-1 victory against Uganda, with Osimhen showcasing leadership as Paul Onuachu and Raphael Onyedika scored twice.
Osimhen aims to guide Nigeria towards a fourth AFCON title, with the team's focus on winning matches rather than personal glory.
