‘Give Yekini his flowers!’ - Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen tells Nigerians
Victor Osimhen believes Rashidi Yekini will always be Nigeria's greatest ever striker.
However, Rashidi Yekini remains Nigeria's all-time leading international goalscorer with 37 goals in 58 matches but 25-year-old Osimhen is aiming to break the record set by the former Shooting Stars player.
Osimhen has scored 23 goals in 37 matches for the Super Eagles, although he is 14 goals shy of Yekini's record, the 25-year-old has plenty of time to advance on the list of Nigeria's all time goal scorer.
