Legendary Adebayor Backs Osimhen to Lead Nigeria Against Cote d’Ivoire

Togo football legend, Emmanuel Adebayor, has voiced his support for Victor Osimhen to play a pivotal role for the Super Eagles in their upcoming match against Cote d’Ivoire at AFCON 2023. The highly anticipated Group A encounter is set to take place at the Alassane Ouattara Stadium today.

Osimhen, who netted a goal in Nigeria’s recent 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea, also missed several promising opportunities. Despite this, Adebayor remains confident in the Napoli striker’s ability to make a significant impact for the Super Eagles against the Elephants.

In an exclusive interview with Media Talk Africa in Abidjan, Adebayor expressed his unwavering support for Osimhen, stating, “I’m here in the Super Eagles hotel to support the team and offer my support to Osimhen. He is doing well and is a pride to our continent. We all must rally round him to give him our support.”

The backing of a football icon like Adebayor is sure to bolster Osimhen’s morale and further ignite anticipation for the clash between Nigeria and Cote d’Ivoire. As the AFCON 2023 tournament unfolds, all eyes will undoubtedly be on Osimhen as he strives to make a lasting impact on behalf of the Super Eagles.
