Osimhen made the selection during a quick interview with Bleacher Report Football, where he was asked to choose his favourite Nigerian players by position.
The 27-year-old picked mostly former Super Eagles stars, with only one current teammate making the list.
For goalkeeper, Osimhen chose former Nigeria captain Vincent Enyeama, widely regarded as one of the country’s best-ever goalkeepers.
In defence, he selected Fulham defender Calvin Bassey, whom he has played with for Nigeria, including at the recently concluded AFCON.
Osimhen’s midfield choices were Jay-Jay Okocha and John Obi Mikel. Okocha is known for his creativity and skill, while Mikel was praised for his leadership and calm presence in midfield.
Up front, Osimhen went with two experienced strikers: Nwankwo Kanu and Odion Ighalo. Kanu is a former African Footballer of the Year, while Ighalo was Nigeria’s top scorer at the 2019 AFCON.
Osimhen is currently one of Nigeria’s biggest football stars and continues to impress both at club and international level.
