Galatasaray super star Victor Osimhen is now just one goal away from making Super Eagles history.
As Nigeria prepares for a crucial AFCON 2025 qualifier against Benin, Osimhen has set his sights on a milestone that would seal his legacy among Nigeria’s football legends, Footballrover reports.
With his recent performances capturing global attention, fans are left wondering if he will achieve this feat in his upcoming match.

Osimhen eyes a historic goal for Super Eagles legacy
A brace, however, would see Osimhen surpass Odegbami’s record and establish himself as Nigeria’s top scorer in competitive matches.
Since his Super Eagles debut in 2017, the Napoli-owned forward has consistently delivered on the pitch, displaying remarkable scoring precision in various international fixtures.
His current tally includes 16 goals in AFCON qualifiers and now, as he steps into his 38th cap, Osimhen is set to make a bid for the record under the watchful eyes of head coach Augustine Eguavoen.
With anticipation building ahead of the clash in Abidjan, fans await the opportunity to see Osimhen achieve this personal milestone.
The Felix Houphouet-Boigny Stadium, a familiar ground for past Super Eagles victories, may well witness Osimhen’s crowning moment in Nigerian football.
