The legendary Rashidi Yekini holds the Super Eagles all-time goals record, but former captain Mutiu Adepoju has predicted that Victor Osimhen will soon surpass this milestone.
Yekini scored 37 goals for the Super Eagles, while Osimhen has so far netted 21 goals.
‘Headmaster’ Adepoju said he believes Osimhen has time on his side to set a new all-time goals record with the Super Eagles.
“I have seen Osimhen play, he has that energy, will power, that is what has got him here” he told Elegbete TV.
“But there is no room for comparison, they are two different times, Osimhen is doing very well, and with the way he is now, he will surpass the goals Yekini scored.”
He added: “He is very young, he has achieved a lot, he has scored certain goals and he is still playing. So, he has a lot of years ahead of him to overtake and outscore Yekini.
“But Yekini will always be Yekini and Osimhen will always be Osimhen, he will be there for so many years.”
