Osimhen, 21, has joined Napoli on a five-year contract with an option for another year in a deal worth up to 80 million euros ($94.4 million), making him the most expensive African player ever. “For Nigeria to achieve anything meaningful, we need a strong team, which is not just about two or three players. “We need top players in all departments as well as those on the bench. That way at any given time anyone can play.”Amuneke said Osimhen represents a bright future for three-time African champions Nigeria, whose last major achievement was winning the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations. “He is now the future of Nigeria at only 21, he has a great attitude,” he said.
