Napoli striker Victor Osimhen has posted an awesome photo of himself and Samuel Chukwueze chilling at the Super Eagles training ahead of their AFCON qualifying match against Sierra Leone this coming Sunday.

Osimhen entered the Super Eagles camp with boosted morale after winning the Scudetto with Napoli and finishing the season as the highest goalscorer with 26 goals.
