Jay Jay Okocha Ignores Victor Osimhen, Picks Two Ghanaian Legends in His Top 5 African Players
Former Super Eagles legend Jay Jay Okocha, in a recent interview, named his top five African players, excluding Victor Osimhen. Okocha included Ghanaian legends Tony Yeboah and George Weah in his list.
Okocha, known for his 18-year professional career in Europe, highlighted his achievements, including winning the 1994 Cup of Nations and a gold medal at the 1996 Olympic Games. He also praised Ivorian striker Didier Drogba for his success in the English Premier League and UEFA Champions League.
Okocha's omission of Osimhen, the reigning CAF Player of the Year, raised eyebrows. Additionally, the article highlighted Yeboah's prolific goal-scoring record in the early 80s and 90s, as well as Weah's success in Europe, winning the African Footballer of the Year award multiple times.
