Black Stars of Ghana legend Asamoah Gyan has said Victor Osimhen plays with passion whenever he plays for Nigeria.
Osimhen was instrumental to the Super Eagles 2-0 win against Cameroon in Saturday’s round of 16 clash at the AFCON 2023.
The Napoli striker harassed and troubled the Cameroonian defence throughout the encounter.

It was one of his unrelenting pressing that led to the opening goal as he chased down a defender, got the ball from him and laid it for Ademola Lookman for the opener.
Speaking on Osimhen’s performance, Gyan hailed the striker’s passion.
“Osimhen plays with passion. That’s what every country wants their players to do ,” he wrote on his X handle.
Osimhen has managed to score one goal at this year’s AFCON which was in the 1-1 draw with Equatorial Guinea.
He will hope to get on the score sheet again when the Eagles face Angola in the quarter-finals on Friday.
