The friendly match between Nigeria and Brazil which ended in a 1-1 draw has come and gone but has signaled good times for Nigerian football following reports from Spain that Barça might be interested in two of Super Eagles bright prospects.
Victor Osimhen might be a likely replacement for the ageing Luis Suarez while Villarreal’s youngster, Samuel Chukwueze is also a hot spot.
The Nigerian international, 20-year old Victor Osimhen joined Lille last summer and has put on very impressive performances that has seen his stock rise. In the French top division, he has scored seven goals this season and for the Champions League, he has scored one.
This has grabbed the attention of Europe’s top clubs with Barcelona leading the quest but will Les Douges of Lille be willing to let go their prized asset after just a season? That remains to be seen.
