Victor Osimhen reveals dream Nigerian five-a-side team, picks only one current Super Eagles teammate

Super Eagles vice-captain and Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has named his all-time Nigerian five-a-side team, Soccernet.ng reports. 

In a chat with Bleacher Report Football, the former LOSC Lille forward selected a mix of former internationals and just one active member of the current squad.

Osimhen made the revelation when he was asked to choose an ideal Nigerian lineup for a five-a-side format.

In the clip, Osimhen selected Vincent Enyeama as the goalkeeper. But, before then, he named Calvin Bassey as his defensive pick to stand in front of the goal, even without a goalkeeper.

His midfield choices were Jay-Jay Okocha and Mikel Obi, while Nwankwo Kanu and Odion Ighalo completed the attacking options.

Bassey was the only current Super Eagles player included in the selection.

Only Bassey represents current Super Eagles squad

The clip, published by Bleacher Report Football on its official platforms, shows Osimhen selecting a team dominated by former internationals, with Bassey the only active Super Eagles player included.

Osimhen’s picks combine players from different eras of Nigerian football.

Enyeama is widely regarded as one of Africa’s most accomplished goalkeepers, while Kanu and Okocha were key figures during Nigeria’s most successful periods at club and international level.

Mikel anchored the national team midfield for over a decade, and Ighalo finished his international career as one of Nigeria’s leading scorers.
