  • Victor Osimhen has been spotted having fun ahead of Africa Cup of Nations
  • The Nigerian international was seen spraying cash in a Lagos nightclub
  • The striker's actions stirred different reactions from fans on social media

Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen is still in celebratory mode a few days before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations as he was spotted spraying cash in a Lagos nightclub.

The Napoli striker was included in Jose Peseiro's 25-man squad to represent Nigeria at the 34th edition of the Africa Cup of Nations in Ivory Coast.

This would be the second time the former Lille striker would represent the three-time African champions in the competition, with the first being in 2019.

The former Wolfsburg striker missed out on the 2021 edition of Cameroon due to injury and was replaced in the squad by Umar Sadiq.

In a viral video on social media, Osimhen was seen spraying money and partying hard with friends in a Lagos nightclub with few days left for him to join his other teammates in camp.

Osimhen's actions in the club stirred a lot of reactions from fans on social media. One said:

"Papa, go and make us proud in the African Nation Cup. Much love, bro."

Another also said:

"God bless you, bro, from street to KING of Africa."

One added:

"Chai... Agba baller. How much is money."

Another fan said:

"There's time for everything, enjoy your well deserved money bro."

One also said:

"V9 is a star, a big star. The best footballer in Africa and most in demand European footballer. Enjoy your life, brother."

Osimhen tipped to leave Napoli next summer

Sports Brief earlier reported that Football agent Dario Canovi is convinced Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen will leave Napoli next summer despite signing a contract extension with the reigning Serie A champions.

The 24-year-old forward became one of the Partenopei’s top earners in history after he penned a one-year contract extension last week, but uncertainties still surround his future at the club.

Canovi is of the opinion that Osimhen’s contract extension was to increase the value of the Nigerian forward, as he expects Napoli to cash in on him when the right offer comes.
