Osimhen Is Better Than Benzema, Haaland – Nigerians Shower Praises After Hat-Trick Against Sao Tome

GOAL readers have suggested that Nigerian star Victor Osimhen will have a better legacy than former Real Madrid star Karim Benzema.

Victor Osimhen grabbed a hat-trick for Nigeria in an Africa Cup of Nations qualifier on Sunday evening as the Super Eagles thrashed Sao Tome and Principe.

The SSC Napoli striker helped his side qualify for next year’s Afcon in Ivory Coast and he has now netted 20 goals in the colours of the national team.

A certain section of Nigerian supporters have compared him to Manchester City striker Erling Haaland and former Real Madrid attacker Karim Benzema. Some have suggested that the Napoli goal-getter might attract interest from Saudi Arabia.
