mentality and leadership qualities, which have made him a vital presence in the team.

Troost-Ekong described Osimhen as a strong team player who is vocal in the locker room, adding, “He’s a real leader, and I’m sure he’ll be captain soon.” Reflecting on Osimhen’s early days with the Super Eagles in 2019, he recalled how the striker initially played a backup role to Odion Ighalo but quickly earned the respect of his teammates through his commitment and performances in training.

In addition to his football talents, Troost-Ekong revealed that Osimhen is a passionate Chelsea fan. This comes after Osimhen’s near-move to Chelsea in the summer, which ultimately fell through, leading him to join Galatasaray on a season-long loan. The Super Eagles defender added, “I can confirm he’s a Chelsea fan,” suggesting that a future move to the Premier League club could be on the cards.

Troost-Ekong also expressed strong support for his fellow national team player, Ademola Lookman, who has been shortlisted for the prestigious African Player of the Year award. Lookman, who is competing with players like Serhou Guirassy and Achraf Hakimi, is viewed by Troost-Ekong as one of Africa’s top talents. “He’s arguably our best player and arguably the best player in Africa right now,” Troost-Ekong declared. He confidently predicted that Lookman would take home the award at the 2024 CAF ceremony in Marrakech, Morocco, on December 16.
