Speaking about the striking department, 1996 Olympics gold medalist Celestine Babayaro, wants an alternative to Victor Boniface. Boniface in the colours of Nigeria, is enduring difficult times in front of goal; failing to score in almost four games.
According to the former Chelsea man, it will be disastrous if Nigeria fail to find a goal-hingry supporter for Victor Osimhen. Hence is call to replace a non-serious Boniface.
Super Eagles need an alternative to Victor Osimhen
“I (Babayaro) haven’t watched the team in a while but from what I can deduce there is the need for an alternative to Osimhen, and it can’t be Boniface. Over time Boniface has failed to prove himself as one who is serious when playing for the team”, he told OwnGoalNigeria.com.
” Whoever leads the team when the qualifiers resumes will have to look for an alternative to Osimhen who as we have seen can be trusted to be available for all games. That alternative can’t be someone who is not serious like Boniface”.

In the past, Milan has always pushed more to the left and it would have been useful to balance with a similar player on the right. Unfortunately, Chukwueze has never really clicked and there is no alternative with similar characteristics,” Capello said, per Milan.it.
