Nigeria’s Super Eagles captain, William Troost-Ekong, has heaped praise on striker Victor Osimhen, describing him as one of the world’s top attackers and acknowledging his exceptional contributions to the national team.

Troost-Ekong, who has been a key figure in Nigeria’s defense, also included teammate Ademola Lookman in his list of top-tier forwards, commending both players for their impressive form and crucial roles in the Super Eagles.

In a recent interview, Troost-Ekong said, “Victor Osimhen is not just one of the best in Africa, he is among the top attackers in the world right now. His work ethic, his ability to score goals, and his influence on the team are second to none. He deserves all the praise he's getting and more.”

The praise comes after Osimhen’s standout performances for both his club, Napoli, and the Super Eagles, where he has become a key figure in their attack. The 25-year-old forward has earned widespread recognition for his speed, clinical finishing, and ability to deliver under pressure, making him one of the most sought-after strikers in world football.

Troost-Ekong, who has played alongside Osimhen for several years, highlighted the striker's leadership qualities, which have been integral to the team’s success. "Victor is not only a great player but a great leader on and off the pitch. He pushes the team forward and always gives his best. It’s no surprise that he’s recognized as one of the best in the world," Troost-Ekong added.

The Super Eagles captain didn’t stop there, also praising Ademola Lookman, the talented winger who has impressed with his agility, creativity, and goal-scoring ability. "Ademola Lookman is another top player we have in our squad. His performances have been fantastic, and he's been a real threat in our attack. He’s a player with huge potential, and it’s exciting to see him grow in the team."

Troost-Ekong’s remarks underscore the growing strength of the Super Eagles' attacking line-up, with Osimhen and Lookman providing a formidable duo. Both players have become instrumental in Nigeria’s attacking strategy, and their partnership has garnered significant attention from fans and pundits alike.

As the Super Eagles look ahead to their upcoming fixtures, the praise from their captain serves as a reminder of the team’s growing confidence and potential on the international stage. With players like Osimhen and Lookman leading the charge, Nigeria's attack is poised to continue its dominance in African and world football.
