is he really the business? nigerian twitter stays talking about him but they talk about everybody lol
He's definitely one of the better strikers we've seen come along in a while and he's young. The Nigerian national team had most bases covered (GK was still up for grabs) during the last WC, but we definitely lacked a clinical striker to take us far. I like Odion and what's he's been doing at United, but he's in the sunset phase of his career.
For what it's worth, Osimhen won the
Marc-Vivien Foé prize. Given to the best African national playing in Ligue 1.
I think people are also happy because although you'll find Nigerians playing all over Europe, we haven't really had anyone play AND do well at the top clubs in Europe. Iwobi was at Arsenal but was on the periphery. Ndidi is definitely crucial to Leicester and you have Chukwueze at Villarreal, but outside of that, can't name too many other folks.
