Victor Osimhen Nears Rashidi Yekini's Goal Record in Nigeria's AFCON Journey

Victor Osimhen, the top marksman for the Nigerian national team, is on the verge of equaling or surpassing Rashidi Yekini's record of 37 goals in 58 matches. Osimhen's recent performance, scoring two goals against Morocco in the Africa Cup of Nations semifinal, has put him in a position to become Nigeria's new goal king.

Osimhen rose to prominence after his impressive display at the FIFA U17 World Cup in 2015. With key players like Alex Iwobi and Ahmed Musa supporting him, Osimhen aims to make history for Nigeria's football team.
