Victor Osimhen said he is ready for the last few games of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations playoffs, which Nigeria will play against Benin Republic and Rwanda. The 25-year-old striker has been in great shape since joining Galatasaray on loan from Napoli on the last day of the summer transfer window. In just nine games, he has been involved in 12 goals, scoring eight and setting up four others. Because he always plays well, Galatasaray has been able to stay at the top of the Turkish Super Lig results.
Osimhen got two goals in Sunday’s 3-2 win over Samsunspor. It was his second game in three days with two goals or more. His great play has made him even more important to the team and shown that he is ready to play for the Super Eagles internationally.
Osimhen was noticeably missing from Nigeria’s recent two games against Libya, but he said he was eager to return to the national team, especially after his recent success with Galatasaray. When he thought about his recent performances, he was happy with what he had done and how it had set the tone for his future international duties. “The victory was important,” he said, adding that the team’s confidence would be higher going into the next qualifiers. He went on to say, “We will take this confidence to the national team.” We can win every game when we get back.”
The Nigerian striker also took the time to thank the fans of Galatasaray for how well they have treated him since he joined the team. He thanked the passionate fans for their support by saying, “I am very happy at Galatasaray.” My friends really love me. I’m giving the win to them. This connection with the people has helped Osimhen feel like he belongs in Istanbul, which has helped him do even better on the field.
The last time Osimhen scored for Nigeria, it was in July in the rematch against Benin Republic, which the Super Eagles won 3-0. Both teams will play each other again on Thursday in Abidjan. Osimhen will be hoping to keep scoring goals to help Nigeria win all three points. Nigeria is currently in first place in Group D with 10 points. If they win this game, they will definitely be qualified for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, with one game to spare.
This upcoming doubleheader against Benin and Rwanda is very important because it gives Osimhen and his partners a chance to secure their spot in the continental tournament. The coach, players, and fans of the Super Eagles all hope that Osimhen’s current form can lead to success on the international stage so that the team can play in the prestigious event.
