From transfer limbo to Eagles’ frontline?

By IKENWA NNABUOGOR
The last has certainly not been heard of the transfer troubles that pitted the embattled Super Eagles’ striker Victor Osihmen and his Italian club Napoli as Osihmen has finally settled down to club business at Turkish giants, Galatasaray.

Subsequently, he flew in on Thursday as soon as he was done with his headaches to ghost past his chequered transfer to begin a fresh journey that he hopes will breathe brand new life to self and country.

Eagles, needing fresh blood for the great diffusion the team badly craves, are back to the pitch to at least prove to fans they’re far from finished and fresh-from-transfer-troubled-waters Osihmen could well be the trouble fixer.

Caretaker coach Augustine Eguavoen will certainly not afford to settle for less to begin his “fourth missionary journey” on a sound note and sweet music. It will be for him handing Osihmen the point man role with a view to a bright start.

The circumstances both “Egu” and Osihmen are hugging before the crucial game are as demanding as they’re equally tough and ticking the boxes of making, rather than marring, will be great choices for the embattled duo.

Questions were raised and are still raised as per the rationale behind the invite of Osihmen whose mental and physical readiness towards the games, was anything but typically mouthwatering.

Osihmen hasn’t been anywhere near the pitch to attain any form of game competitiveness fit the Benin and Rwanda games, leading to wide criticisms of his inclusion.

But the former Sporting Charleroi hitman is made of steel, toughness and full of running and could be singing a brand new song Nigerians could instantly fall in love with this evening.

He’s got the amazing scoring attributes and the matching energy as well as the will power to put his troubles behind him to deliver.

“Egu” may not be afraid to gamble and take whatever things that will come out of it.

This evening will only prove this.
