Super Eagles vice-captain and Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has named his all-time Nigerian five-a-side team.
In a chat with Bleacher Report Football, the former LOSC Lille forward selected a mix of former internationals and just one active member of the current squad.
Osimhen made the revelation when he was asked to choose an ideal Nigerian lineup for a five-a-side format.
Victor Osimhen names Enyeama, Kanu, others
In the clip, Osimhen selected Vincent Enyeama as the goalkeeper. But, before then, he named Calvin Bassey as his defensive pick to stand in front of the goal, even without a goalkeeper.
His midfield choices were Jay-Jay Okocha and Mikel Obi, while Nwankwo Kanu and Odion Ighalo completed the attacking options.
Bassey was the only current Super Eagles player included in the selection.
