I’ll be available for AFCON: Osimhen
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen says he will be available for the African Cup of Nation scheduled to hold in Cameroon next year January.
“I will be available for AFCON 100% unless I’m not among the players picked to represent Nigeria,” Osimhen said on Tuesday.
Osimhen, who netted five goals for the Eagles during the AFCON qualifiers, disclosed this via his Twitter handle, dispelling rumours he might miss the competition.
