"He's a guy that wants to fight for every single ball. For me, I think the defenders are scared of him. Victor is on another level."
"Missing Victor going into the second half, [it] changed a bit," Onyeka admitted. "Even one of the players from Congo said the same. When Victor left it gave the defenders a bit of rest and then they can relax a bit."
"He's such an amazing player,"
Frank Onyeka praises Victor Osimhen as a standout striker whose aggression and presence intimidate defenders and boost Nigeria's attacking prospects. Osimhen scored once at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations and now has 31 goals in 45 appearances, placing him second on Nigeria's all-time scorers list behind Rashidi Yekini. Nigeria struggled in 2026 World Cup qualifying when Osimhen was absent, taking four points from 15, and his halftime exit in the World Cup play-off against DR Congo altered the match's momentum. Onyeka has faced limited starts at Brentford and worked on mindfulness during a loan at Augsburg.
