Former Chelsea forward Salomon Kalou has named four Super Eagles stars he believes could be crucial to Nigeria’s Africa Cup of Nations campaign in Morocco.

The former Ivorian international, who won the AFCON in 2015, named Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman, Wilfred Ndidi and Samuel Chukwueze as the spine of the team.

Kalou believes Nigeria have a lot of firepower in attack and can go all the way to win the tournament after stumbling in the final against Ivory Coast in the last edition.

“Nigeria looks very strong this year. With Victor Osimhen leading the line, they have one of the most feared strikers in world football,” Kalou wrote in his weekly blog via Tribuna.

“Add in the pace and creativity of Ademola Lookman and Samuel Chukwueze, plus Wilfred Ndidi’s stability in midfield, and you see a team with balance and depth. Nigeria were runners-up last time, and with this mix of stars they’ll believe they can go all the way.”

The Super Eagles will kick off their campaign against Tanzania on Tuesday, December 23.
