Victor Osimhen Plots Brazil's Second Fall

Former Golden Eaglets forward, Victor Osimhen, hopes to help Nigeria U23 team beat the Brazilian Olympics team, just like at the U17 level in Chile last year.

The Nigerian youngster, who's bound to join German bundesliga side, Wolfsburg next January set a new goal 10-goal record at the FIFA U17 level in 2015, and also won the African U23 championship with the Dream Team VI the same year.

The 17 year old, who arrived the Dream Team Vi camp in Abuja on Sunday said he's there to fight for
his shirt, and also serve his fatherland, adding that it will always be a pleasure to defeat the Brazilians anytime.

"It's always fun for me to come to camp and play for my fatherland. I see it as a privilege and will always honour such invitations any time I am called upon.

"I have come to fight for a jersey in this friendly match that is part of preparations for the Rio Olympics and I am happy to be among the invited players. You know I was part of the Golden Eaglets team that defeated the Brazilians at the last U-17 World Cup in Chile and so it will a pleasure for me to play them at their backyard and hopefully find the back of the net, as I did against them in Chile."

With his arrival, Osimhen became the first foreign -based player to arrive camp in preparation for the game.
The U-23 are expected to depart the shores of the country on Sunday, March 20, aboard a South African Airways flight. NFF
