Ighalo Defends Osimhen: “He’s a World-Class Striker, Don’t Be Disheartened”. Former Nigerian striker Odion Ighalo has come to the defense of his compatriot Victor Osimhen, following criticism from Nigerian fans over the Napoli star’s failed transfers to Chelsea and Al-Ahli.

Ighalo, known for his own impressive career, took to social media to express his support for Osimhen, stating, “Victor is a world-class striker, and we should be proud of his achievements. These setbacks are just part of the journey. Don’t be disheartened, keep your head up!”

Osimhen has been a subject of intense transfer speculation in recent months, with both Chelsea and Al-Ahli expressing strong interest in securing his signature. However, both deals ultimately fell through, leaving fans wondering about the future of the prolific striker.

Ighalo’s words are likely to resonate with Nigerian fans, who have been divided in their opinions on Osimhen’s situation. While some remain optimistic about his future, others have expressed disappointment over the failed transfers.

Ighalo’s message serves as a reminder to Nigerian fans to support their star player, acknowledging that setbacks are part of a footballer’s journey. With his continued strong performances for Napoli, Osimhen is sure to attract further interest in the future, and Ighalo’s words of encouragement may just be the boost he needs to continue his impressive progress.
