Super Eagles head coach, Éric Chelle, has described Victor Osimhen as the best striker in the world.

Osimhen netted a brilliant hat-trick as Nigeria defeated Benin Republic 4-0 to secure a spot in the 2026 FIFA World Cup playoffs.

The Galatasaray forward scored twice in the first half and completed his treble after the break.

Chelle praised the Nigerian striker for his outstanding performance, saying, “I am very happy for my players, especially the best striker in the world, Victor (Osimhen).”

He added, “Now we go to Morocco; it’s going to be very difficult.”
