Sunday Oliseh's statement about Victor Osimhen

''Victor Osimhen does something very well more than Rashidi Yekini and that's aerial ball because Rashidi does not trust his head that much so he would have to position himself well to score with legs.
''Every time I sends long ball to Yekini, he will jump up more than the ball to bring it down with his chest and shoot, but Osimhen can head straight away.''

Sunday Oliseh also explained that he tried to bring Victor Osimhen into the Super Eagles before re resigned as the coach of the national team.
