Kocaelispor striker Serdar Dursun has shared his assessment of Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen, highlighting an area where the Nigerian player could improve. Dursun, who has played with Mauro Icardi at Galatasaray, noted that Osimhen’s finishing is not as strong as his teammate’s. In a recent interview on Ertem Şener’s YouTube channel, Dursun praised Osimhen as a great footballer, citing his exceptional physical qualities and sprinting power.
Osimhen, currently representing Nigeria at the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco, is set to face Tanzania in the team’s opening match. The 26-year-old striker has been a key player for the Super Eagles, and his performance will be crucial in determining the team’s success in the tournament.
Dursun’s comments provide insight into Osimhen’s gameplay, suggesting that while he excels physically, his finishing technique could be enhanced. Icardi, known for his clinical finishing, serves as a point of comparison for Dursun’s evaluation. This assessment may be useful for Osimhen as he continues to develop his skills and lead the Super Eagles in international competitions.
The 2025 Africa Cup of Nations, underway in Morocco, features top teams from the continent, including Nigeria, which is seeking to make a strong impression in the tournament. With Osimhen at the forefront, the Super Eagles will rely on his abilities to drive the team forward and overcome opponents like Tanzania in their opening match.
As the tournament progresses, Osimhen’s performance will be closely watched, and his ability to address areas like finishing will be crucial in determining Nigeria’s success. The Super Eagles’ campaign in the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations will be an important test for Osimhen and the team, with the outcome depending on their collective efforts and strategic gameplay.
