Abu Azeez Backs Osimhen's Decision

Azeez, who describes himself as being in the 'chasing the bag' moment of his career, shared his perspective on social media:
)
"When Oscar left Chelsea for China, you didnt talk about age or prime, just leave Victor to collect his sherebe and leave his age alone, Na by force to win Balon?"
Azeez's statement challenges critics who question Osimhen's decision based on his age and potential.
)
His own move to Bangladesh was motivated by the vastly improved welfare and consistent salary payments, in contrast to the inconsistencies he experienced in the NPFL.
Azeez’s thought comes on the heels of comments made by former Super Eagles striker and AFCON 2013 winner Brown Ideye who also weighed in on the situation.
)
Drawing from his own experience of moving to China, Ideye offered advice to his national team colleague, suggesting that such moves can be beneficial for a player's career and financial security.
The support from players like Abu Azeez and Brown Ideye, who have made similar moves for financial security and improved welfare, adds a new dimension to the debate.
Their experiences highlight the complex decisions players face when balancing career aspirations, financial opportunities, and personal well-being.
