Sports News of Tuesday, 13 January 2026Source: www.ghanaweb.comLong before Victor Osimhen began rewriting Nigeria’s scoring charts, there was a man who turned goals into national moments. His name was Rashidi Yekini, and for three decades, his shadow has loomed over every Super Eagles striker who dared to dream of immortality. Between 1984 and 1998, Yekini struck 37 goals in 58 appearances for the Super Eagles, a return so ruthless and consistent that it changed how Nigerian strikers were measured. Now, decades later, Victor Osimhen stands where so many have failed: on the edge of Yekini’s mountain. At just 27, the Galatasaray striker has already stormed to 35 goals in 51 Super Eagles appearances, putting him within touching distance of a record once believed untouchable.
