'After Ronaldo And Messi, Osimhen Is Next' - Super Eagles No. 9 Receives Highest Praise Possible From Nigeria Fans

Published: November 17, 2019

Red-hot Super Eagles hitman Victor Osimhen is currently the rave of the moment after his star display in Nigeria's 4-2 victory against Lesotho on Sunday evening, and Nigerians could not resist drawing comparisons with some elite strikers to have played the game.

The 20-year-old scored two great goals after twice setting up his mates Alex Iwobi and Samuel Chukwueze at the Setsoto stadium, as they hauled back a deficit in some style after initially going behind to a goal from the opponents.

Thus, he has contributed directly to an astonishing six goals (4 goals, 2 assists) in his last four international games, and trust Nigerians not to sleep on it.

Below are some of the things they are saying regarding his sterling display,

@adebayoolum007: And my man, @victorosimhen9 , got his goal! He deserves that! At the right place, at the right time- the hallmark of a great striker.

@dani_ajiboy: Osimen on fire!!

@Dpaparaazi: Dy use 1 to collect 4. Osimhen will rule the world. He's an animal. We finally have our Yekini

@hobiaethon: Who is looking for Tammy when u have OsiGoal

@bayoadegboyega2 : Egbon, as far as goal scoring is concerned, after Ronaldo and Messi, Osimhen is next.

@NiftyNI22: Assisted Iwobi Assisted Chukwueze Scored!! Scored again!! Zanku on top!!! This man Oshimen!!!! #LESNGA 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥 🔥

@olayinkasuraj: Victor Osimhen was literally involved in all four goals Nigeria scored today. 1.Made the tackle that led to Iwobi's goal 2. Gave a through ball for Chukwueze to nod in for the second 3. Scored the 3rd 4. Scored the 4th. Absolute gem!

@UNCLE_AJALA: Osimhen makes it 3 after he did 2 assists, one for Iwobi and another for Chukwueze. Osimhen is obviously man of the match with a brilliant performance. ⚽ Lesotho 1-3 Nigeria. Super Eagles are cruising to victory.

@slytudeme: Osimgoal🇳🇬 is the striker Lewandowski wishes he was. Levels on this goal scoring matter👏👏👏

@nugwa: Look let's relax. He has potential but he's not there yet. But if he continues improving one day Lewandowski could be as good as Osimhen.

@kahunakome: Lewandowski has a poster of Osimhen on his bedroom wall

@theoddsolace: Victor Osimhen is quite special, isn't he? That connection with Chukwueze running in behind is starting to look like a sure thing.
