Real recognize real: Napoli forward Osimhen links up with Psquare

The Super Eagles attacker won over Nigerian fans with his outstanding performance for Luciano Spalletti’s team

Super Eagles talisman, Victor Osimhen, meets up with Mr P, also known as Peter Okoye, the singer of “For My Head”.

A few days after his involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Guinea-Bissau, the Napoli attacker was seen socialising with the Nigerian megastar as he paid a courtesy call to his house.

Upon releasing songs like “Do me,” “Temptation,” and a slew of others in the early 2000s, Mr. P and his identical twin brother Rudeboy formed the P-Square duet, which gained popularity in the next decade.

Psquare won six honours in 2006, including those from the Nigerian Music Awards (NMA), City Mag’s 9th Awards Ceremony, and The Headies.

The Super Eagles attacker is seen chatting with the 41-year-old before signing a Napoli shirt and posing for photos with him.

Watch the video here:

Osimhen has used his international break to rally his nation’s national team, while also utilising it to connect with his Nigerian supporters, who are proud of how well he is representing Nigeria abroad.

After being crowned the Best Striker and the King of the Pitch during his tour, he was able to receive the Nigerian Pitch Award personally.

However, when the Parthenopeans return to play this weekend and meet their bitter rivals at the Diego Maradona Stadium, the Nigerian will be hoping to keep up his goal-scoring pace.
