‘Yekini Is The Greatest Striker In The Super Eagles’ – Osimhen
Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has affirmed that the late Rashidi Yekini will always be Nigeria’s greatest striker, regardless of whether he surpasses or breaks Yekini’s goal-scoring record.
Osimhen, who has scored 23 goals for the national team, is currently 14 goals away from equaling the legendary Yekini’s record of 37 goals, which remains the highest in Super Eagles history.

Reacting on his X account, the Galatasaray forward emphasized that even if he achieves or exceeds Yekini’s milestone, it would not diminish the late striker’s status as Nigeria’s all-time best.
“No, no. I really don’t care about this. I just want to do my job and try to win games, score goals, provide a lot of assists for my team,” he said in a video uploaded to X.
“Then if I equal it, I equal it, if I surpass it, I surpass it, but that doesn’t take away Rashidi Yekini is the greatest striker in the Super Eagles have ever had.
“This record stood for a very, very long time and it still stands, so I think we should give him his flowers and also celebrate him.”
