Yekini Remains Super Eagles’ Greatest Striker — Osimhen

Victor Osimhen has de­scribed Super Eagles all-time top scorer, Rashidi Yekini, as Nigeria’s great­est-ever forward. Yekini still leads the Su­per Eagles all-time goals chart with 37 goals from 58 matches. Osimhen scored his 23rd international goal against Benin Republic in Abidjan and he is now the second all-time leading scorer.

The 25-year-old striker said he has not bothered himself about breaking this goals record and would prefer Yekini is accorded his due respect. “I really don’t care about this (record), I just try to do my job, try to win games, score goals and assist the team. “If I equal it, I equal it.



.. “That does not take away the fact that Rashidi Yekini is the greatest striker the Super Eagles ever had.

“His record has stood for a very long time. “So, I think we should really give him his flowers.” Yekini won the 1994 Af­rica Cup of Nations (AF­CON); he played at the 1994 and 1998 World Cups and was named CAF Player of the Year in 1993.
