Zubar Declares Osimhen Africa's Best Player Amid Praise
Ronald Zubar, a former defender for Marseille and Wolves, has publicly ranked Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen as Africa’s best player. Zubar commended Osimhen for his exceptional qualities, including his mental fortitude and fighting spirit, which he believes set him apart as one of the best strikers globally.
During his time at Galatasaray, Osimhen scored 15 goals, playing a crucial role in the team's pursuit of the Super Lig title. Zubar noted that Osimhen has proven critics wrong, especially after leaving Napoli for Turkey amid transfer interest from Saudi Arabia.
Following the recent conclusion of the Africa Cup of Nations, Zubar expressed a desire for Nigeria to have won the tournament, emphasizing Osimhen's importance to the Super Eagles. Osimhen is expected to captain Nigeria in the upcoming 2025 Africa Cup of Nations and scored a vital goal in a recent match.
Nigeria's next challenge will be against Iran in a four-nation tournament in March.
