Napoli striker Victor Osimhen and Super Eagles invitee Victor Boniface captured in old photos have sparked nostalgia and excitement in the Nigerian football community, Soccernet.ng reports.
After performing well in Union SG’s Jupiler Pro League, Bonifatius caught the attention of Bayer Leverkusen, who signed him for around €20.5 million.
Under the leadership of Xabi Alonso, Boniface was able to maintain his impressive performance, scoring four goals in three Bundesliga games. As a result, he received an international call-up and will join Jose Peceiro’s team for the next game against Sao Tome and Principe.
A video showing Osimhaeng and Boniface together on the Super Eagles team, as well as an old photo of the two strikers from their U-17 camp days, has recently surfaced.
This heartwarming image stirs the emotions of the Nigerian football community and reminds us of how quickly time flies since our youth.
Both players are currently the talk of European football, with Bonifatius winning the UEFA Europa League top scorer award and Osimhen being nominated for the 2023 Ballon d’Or.
These two star players are expected to bring great performances to the Super Eagles team and lead Coach Peseiro’s team to victory in the 2023 African Cup of Nations final qualifier against Sao Tome.
