Against the Czech Republic last week, Tammy Abraham came on as a substitute to make his competitive debut for England, killing any talk that he could one day represent Nigeria.
While the Super Eagles have lost out on one exciting striker, they have recently unearthed another in LOSC Lille youngster Victor Osimhen, who has enjoyed an excellent start to life in Ligue 1 after moving to France in the summer.
Osimhen’s emergence should help reassure Nigeria fans that, even though they’ve lost Abraham, they still have a magnificent new option to lead the line for a decade to come.
The recent Champions League showdown between Lille and Chelsea represented an ideal opportunity for Super Eagles fans to assess the one who got away and the player who represents Nigeria’s best goal threat post-Odion Ighalo.
Coming into this match, both players had enjoyed excellent starts to the season. Abraham has netted eight times in eight Premier League matches
Osimhen has taken to life in Ligue 1 like a duck to water, netting seven times and assisting two more goals in his nine appearances since his move from RSC Charleroi.
