• The Africa Cup of Nations is set to kick off in the early stages of 2024
• A star Nigerian duo are among the players headlining the tournament
• Victor Boniface has trolled teammate, Victor Osimhen ahead of AFCON

The Super Eagles of Nigeria are eagerly anticipating the upcoming Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) and are determined to make a strong push for victory.

The three-time continental champions are among the host of teams tipped to seal the title in Ivory Coast, and this is largely attributed to the impeccable attacking prowess posed by Jose Peseiro’s side.

Among the flurry of attacking talents available to the West African nation at the AFCON are Napoli’s marksman, Victor Osimhen and five-time Bundesliga Rookie of the Month, Victor Boniface.

The duo, expected to lead the offensive lines for the Super Eagles, have often shown the synergy they share and in the recent episode of what seems to be a healthy and cheerful friendship, Boniface has taken to social media to playfully troll his Nigerian counterpart.
