Ex-Eagles Goalkeeper Calls On Osimhen To Pick Up Scoring Form

Former Super Eagles player Alloysius Uzoma Agu, popularly known as Alloy Agu, has called out Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, to pick up a scoring form for Napoli

The former Super Eagles goalkeeper trainer revealed his reasons amid the infamous TikTok video incident that involved the Nigerian top center forward.

Since the incident, Napoli has played three matches and been awarded penalties in every one of those games, yet Osimhen has rejected taking any of them but has scored from two open plays.

Agu, who was the starting goalkeeper in the 1990 African Nations Cup where the team finished as runners-up and was brought to the 1994 FIFA World Cup and the 1994 African Nations Cup as a cover for Peter Rufai While speaking with journalists on Friday, Agu expressed that the super Eagles forward need to pick up his goal-scoring form.

“Osimhen should focus on scoring goals and improving his profile as a prolific striker in Europe,” Agu said.

“He consistently maintained that pedigree last season and I am optimistic he can maintain that form regardless of what has happened in Napoli.”

Osimhen is regarded as one of the best centre-forwards in European football. He has been compared to fellow young strikers Kylian Mbappe, Erling Haaland, Alexander Isak, and Dušan Vlahović. Opta Analyst wrote: “Among that early-prime age group, Victor Osimhen is arguably near the top”.

However last season’s Serie A top scorer appears to have attracted some of the top clubs in Europe and also the oil-rich Saudi League, with different teams patiently waiting how Osimhen’s situation with Napoli evolved.
