Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr receives a very positive news ahead of AFCON 2019 in June. Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen has been in stunning form this season and he showed that again over the weekend as he hit the back post for his European side once again.
The U17 FIFA World cup winner scored his 15th goal of the season to help Sporting Charleroi defeat Beerschot-Wilrijk in a Belgian First Division A Europa League play-off encounter. The on-loan Wolfsburg attacker got his career back on track in Belgium, helping his side strengthen their drive for a place in Europe.
After Adama Niane's opener before half time, Osimhen doubled the lead with his 72nd-minute effort, netting his second goal in the play-offs. Ryota Morioka and Jeremy Perbet wrapped up victory for Charleroi to move them to second spot in Group A. They have now amassed nine points - two adrift of leaders St. Truiden - from five games.
Osimhen, who moved to the Belgian outfit from German Bundesliga side Wolfsburg to salvage his career, has now registered an impressive 15 goals in 30 appearances across all competitions.
On the international scene, the 20-year-old will hope to make the cut for Nigeria at the Africa Cup of Nations finals in Egypt which kicks off on June 21. The Super Eagles are in Group B alongside Burundi, Guinea and Madagascar.
