2023 AFCON: 'They'll see a different Super Eagles' — Osimhen assures fans

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is confident the Super Eagles will put up a good performance at the 2023 African Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

The Super Eagles have already booked their place in the finals following their hard-fought 3-2 victory over Sierra Leone in their penultimate qualifier.

Osimhen scored twice as Jose Peseiro's side confirmed their place in next year's games with a game to spare.

Speaking on Nigeria's chances in Ivory Coast next year, the Napoli striker believes the Super Eagles have a great team that can produce a good performance at the AFCON.

“We have a great squad to do well, I’m proud of the team,”

“We fight for the team because it’s a privilege to play for Nigeria.

“We expect greatness, we will aim for the trophy.

“We have experienced players and leaders like Ahmed Musa, Kenneth Omeruo and Wilfred Ndidi, who have been helpful to the younger players.

The Serie A top scorer also urged fans to rally behind the team, assuring them that they will see a different Super Eagles side.

“I know some of the fans have given up on us (after the Eagles failed to qualify for the 2022 World Cup), but I hope they will come back to support us.

“They will see a different Super Eagles, we’re working very hard.

“We will have a good tournament and if God wills, we will win it.”

The 24-year-old missed the last edition of the AFCON to a facial injury.
