Victor Osimhen is keen to play his way into in the Super Eagles’
final squad for the 2019 Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
Osimhen, who scored
a hat-trick as the Nigeria’s Olympic team beat
Libya 4-0 in Monday’s second leg clash at the Stephen Keshi Stadium Asaba to
qualify for the next round of the qualifiers with a 4-2 aggregate win, told
Completesports.com that he will continue to work hard at club level to ensure
he keeps his place in the team.
“I feel great
scoring a hat-trick for my country and also helping the team qualify for the
next round, but now I just want to get back to my club and keep working hard
and see what the future holds. I hope I get picked for the AFCON,”
“Competition is getting tougher and I must toughen up as well to
make the squad.”
Osimhen faces
real competition from Odion Ighalo the Super Eagles first choice striker and
the rave of the moment Paul Onuachu, Henry Onyekuru, Moses Simon and Samuel
Kalu in the Super Eagles attack.
The 20-year-old
who attracted concrete interest from Italian side AC Milan during the January
transfer window but declined also believes he won’t be short of offers should
he decide to leave Wolfsburg permanently in the summer.
“We just have to
wait to see what happens in the summer, but definitely, I believe that more
teams will come and I will decide if I have to move or not.”
