Committed Victor Osimhen Jets Out To Gambia With Dream Team

Allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Golden Boot winner at the 2015 Fifa Under 17 World Cup, Victor Osimhen, jetted out of the country on Saturday night along with other Dream Team VI invitees to Gambia, where the national team will hold a get - together ahead of the 2015 Africa U-23 Cup of Nations.

Despite the Nigeria Football Federation permitting the four invited Golden Eaglets players to link up with the squad next week, the Ultimate Strikers starlet showed he’s fully committed to the Nigeria U23s by cutting short his holiday in Lagos.

The 16 - year - old Osimhen was the only Nigeria Under 17 international on the ARIK Air flight to Banjul, with Nwakali and the two wing - backs Lazarus and Anumudu expected to begin training with the Olympic Team as from Wednesday, November 18.

The minor was accompanied to the airport by his agent, Shira Yussuf, and partner Ariyo Igbayilola and coach Chinedu Ogbenna before being handed over to coach Samson Siasia and his backroom staff.

The Nigeria Under 23s open their campaign at the Africa U23 Cup of Nations two weeks from now when they face off against their Malian counterparts at the Stade Caroline Faye, M’Bour.
