Adepoju Questions Osimhen’s Leadership Quality to Captain Super Eagles
| 6 seconds ago
Former Super Eagles midfielder, Mutiu Adepoju believes Victor Osimhen has not yet shown the qualities needed to become captain of Nigeria’s national team, despite the striker’s outstanding achievements in a Super Eagles shirt.
The decision to name a new Nigeria captain surfaced after long-serving leaders William Troost-Ekong and Ahmed Musa stepped away from international football before the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations. Their departures left head coach Eric Chelle with the task of appointing a new permanent captain for a squad filled with experienced stars.
The Galatasaray forward is one of the team’s most influential figures, both in the dressing room and on the pitch, and has established himself as Nigeria’s leading attacking force over the past several years.
