After scoring four goals in Nigeria’s 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON, qualification clash against Sao Tome and Principe on Monday, Victor Osimhen has surpassed the goals record of former Nigerian internationals Nwankwo Kanu, Daniel Amokachi, and Austin Jay-Jay Okocha.

At the Stade Adrar Stadium, Nigeria defeated Sao Tome and Principe 10-0.

Osimhen surpasses Okocha, Kanu, Amokachi’s goals record

Jose Peseiro’s side trounced Sao Tome thanks to four goals from Osimhen, a brace from Terem Moffi, and goals from Moses Simon, Oghenekaro Etebo, Ademola Lookman, and Emmanuel Dennis.

Osimhen’s four goals against Sao Tome were his 15th and 22nd for the Super Eagles in 22 games.

The goal puts the Napoli forward ahead of Kanu (12 goals), Amokachi (13 goals), and Okocha (14 goals) on Nigeria’s all-time scoring list.

Odion Ighalo is now only a goal behind Osimhen (16).

The Napoli striker is still a long way from matching the 37 goals scored by the Super Eagles’ late Rashidi Yekini.

After winning the Champions League, Kylian Mbappé is expected to be announced as a new signing by Real Madrid the following week.

In February, the 25-year-old international athlete made his choice. He can now be regarded as a new Real player because every document has been completed, sealed, and signed.

As per media reports, Kylian Mbappé joined Real Madrid from Paris Saint-Germain on a free transfer. “.. I wanted to announce to you all that it’s my last year at Paris Saint-Germain. I will not extend and the adventure will come to an end in a few weeks. I will play my last game as Parc des Princes on Sunday,” Mbappe said in a video statement on X.

“It’s a lot of emotions. (For) many years I had the chance and great honour to be a member of the biggest French club, one of the best in the world which allowed me to travel here,” Mbappe added.

“It’s hard and I never thought it would be this difficult to announce that I will leave the country, France, the league and the Championship. But I think, I needed this, a new challenge after seven years.”
