Elegbete TV <\/a><\/em>bared his mind on a number of topics, including a posible Nigeria Premier League return, his worst Super Eagles moments and how Nigerians almost buried him for miss at 2018 World Cup.<\/p>\nOn record-breaker Osimhen whose brace in Nigeria\u2019s 3-2 win over Sierra Leone in a 2023 AFCON qualifier took him past his 16-goal tally for the Super Eagles,\u00a0Ighalo said he was praying for \u2018Junior Brother\u2019 Osimhen to break more records.<\/p>\n
\u201cEvery morning I wake up, I pray that my son will be greater than me,\u201d the former Al Hilal striker said.<\/p>\n
\u201cOsimhen is like a junior brother to me, so I always wish him the best. He has passed my tally, but I\u2019m not bothered- I want him to even do more.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is still young at 24, but he has achieved a lot so far. He won the highest goal-scorer in Serie A and helped Napoli to the quarterfinals of the Champions League.<\/p>\n
\u201cI just want him to continue with what he\u2019s doing, and stay humble. Hopefully, one big team will come and pick him.\u201d Ighalo remarked.<\/p>\n
In the current transfer window, Osimhen\u2019s future has been a hot topic with links to big clubs, PSG, Chelsea, and Manchester United, the latter Ighalo\u2019s preferred destination for the 24-year old.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m a Manchester United fan till death. I want him to go to Manchester United because he is a hungry player, and that is what the club needs,\u201d Ighalo added.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe is a fighter, he chases and bullies defenders and he is good in the air. And he is also young.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe has his agent and he is also mature now, but I\u2019d advise him to go to Manchester United because the cl8b needs him.<\/p>\n
\u201cOsimhen will succeed in England and the club will get the best out of him. I believe Manchester United will suit him.\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
