Victor Osimhen, a player in Arsenal’s transfer sights, once again scored for Nigeria in their African Cup of Nations match against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday. Despite his impressive performance, concerns emerged as Nigeria settled for a 1-1 draw against Equatorial Guinea in their group stage opener.
Salvador opened the scoring for Equatorial Guinea, but Osimhen quickly responded by heading in Ademola Lookman’s cross. Despite Nigeria’s dominance, Osimhen’s wastefulness in front of goal prevented them from securing a win.
With a release clause of £112 million in his Napoli deal, Osimhen’s potential signing by Arsenal aligns with their need for a consistent goal-scorer. Arsenal is closely monitoring Osimhen’s performances in AFCON, recognizing the challenges he faces against defensive low blocks.
