With Osihmen being the only proven goal poacher for the Super Eagles , I think it will be fair to give Other strikers equal chances to see who will take his chance and be a reliable deputy to Osihmen. We have already seen Awoyini, we have seen Onuachu as well as Boniface. These guys seem to click in club sides only. So its pertinent for the Coach to give an equal chance to Dessers, Omorodion, Arokodare and other viable options making Waves irrespective of the league. Sometimes luck takes people to places they don’t deserve. so the league doesn’t matter. Our all time highest goal scorer, Yekini, wasn’t horned in a top five league. Pls pls lets see Desseers, Arokodare et al in a competitive game and see what they bring to the table since Osihmen’s deputy is yet to be discovered.
I think Boniface cheats Super Eagles, look at his high form in his club Bayer Leverkusen, he scores goals in every match he plays; NFF must dump him , then they should summon Arokodare or Chuba Akpom to be Osimhen preceeders.
