FIFA U-17 World Cup highest goal scorer, Victor Osimhen, has
arrived the camp of the U-23 National Team, Dream Team, ahead of the
international friendly game against Brazil later this month.
The gangling striker who arrived the Star View Palace Hotel
camp of the Dream Team at about 1pm on Sunday was received by interim Head
Coach, Fatai Amao.
Speaking on arrival, Osimhen, who was part of the Africa
U-23 Cup of Nations –winning team to Senegal last year, said: "It's always
fun for me to come to camp and play for my fatherland. I see it as a privilege
and will always honour such invitations any time I am called upon.
"I have come to fight for a jersey in this friendly
match that is part of preparations for the Rio Olympics and I am happy to be
among the invited players. You know I was part of the Golden Eaglets team that
defeated the Brazilians at the last U-17 World Cup in Chile and so it will be a
pleasure for me to play them at their backyard and hopefully find the back of
the net, as I did against them in Chile."
With his arrival, Osimhen became the first foreign -based
player to arrive camp in preparation for the game.
