Osimhen must do more to break Yekini’s Nigeria record – Babangida

Victor Osimhen is being sponsored by previous Ajax star Tijani Babangida to challenge Rashidi Yekini's Nigeria record.

Yekini is the Super Eagles' driving goalscorer with 37 strikes from 58 worldwide appearances, with Segun Odegbami (23 objectives) and Yakubu Aiyegbeni (21 objectives) possessing the second and third positions, separately.

Yekini arrived at that count 1994 against Bulgaria during a Fifa World Cup game at Dallas' Cotton Bowl Stadium.

In any case, Babangida feels the intensely hot Lille adolescent, who as of now gloats of four worldwide objectives, can break the 26-year-old record in the event that he keeps on improving.

"Rashidi has accomplished such a great deal for the nation and that is the reason his objective record remains till date, yet this is a test for more youthful players like Osimhen," he told Goal.

"The sky is the limit since this is sports where records are constantly broken, so for what reason can't Osimhen break Rashidi's record? It is conceivable.

"Be that as it may, he should accomplish more to guarantee this is accomplished. Ordinarily, Yekini's record is something that ought to propel Nigerian strikers to invest more exertion and focus on."
