Osimhen joins Messi, Ronaldo in decade scoring list

Victor Osimhen has been named among the world’s top international goalscorers of the decade, earning a place alongside Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo after his prolific exploits for Nigeria.

The Super Eagles striker was included in the latest global ranking released this week, recognizing players with the highest number of international goals over the past ten years. Osimhen’s consistent scoring record for Nigeria has elevated him into elite company, underlining his impact on the national team.

“It’s a great honour to be mentioned with legends of the game,” Osimhen said in a reaction shared by local media. “I always give my best for Nigeria.”

A national team official praised his contribution, noting, “Victor has carried our attack with determination and goals when we needed them most.”

Messi and Ronaldo headline the list after surpassing the century mark in international goals, while Osimhen’s tally places him among the most effective African forwards of the era. His rise reflects Nigeria’s attacking resurgence in recent years.
