Osimhen backs Akor Adams for Super Eagles role

Victor Osimhen has thrown his support behind Akor Adams’ growing influence in the Super Eagles, saying the in-form striker deserves a bigger role ahead of Nigeria’s upcoming internationals after his recent club performances in Europe.

Osimhen, speaking via Soccernet, praised Adams’ consistency in front of goal, noting that competition can only strengthen the national team. “Akor is working hard and scoring goals. That’s what Nigeria needs,” Osimhen said. “Healthy competition pushes all of us to improve.”

Adams has impressed this season with double-digit goal contributions for his club, earning fresh calls for more minutes with the Eagles. A team insider added, “The coaches are watching closely. Form will always matter.”

With Nigeria preparing for crucial fixtures, the battle for the No.9 shirt is heating up as both forwards aim to lead the line.
