Victor Osimhen’s influence at AFCON 2025 continues to extend beyond Nigeria, with a Tunisian football fan openly praising the Super Eagles striker after Tunisia’s encounter with the three-time African champions.
Taking to X (formerly Twitter), @BouafifNour gave a brutally honest assessment of what it was like watching his team defend against Osimhen, admitting the Galatasaray forward was a constant nightmare.
“As someone whose team just faced Osimhen, I have to say playing against him is genuinely scary and frustrating. Our centre backs aren’t usually this bad, and we rarely struggle this much when defending crosses. But this guy is an absolute monster.”
The Tunisian fan went further, describing Osimhen as arguably the most dominant striker in the penalty area in world football at the moment.
“Right now, I genuinely think he has the best box presence in world football. His movement is extremely intelligent, he knows exactly when and where to attack the space, and physically he is on another level.”
Osimhen’s physical superiority and aerial ability were singled out as decisive qualities that overwhelmed Tunisia’s defence throughout the match.
“His strength makes it almost impossible to duel with him, his jumping ability is insane, and he always seems to be at the end of every single cross.”
The post concluded with a strong opinion on Osimhen’s club future, suggesting the Nigerian striker deserves to be playing at a higher level.
“With all due respect to Galatasaray, he’s seriously wasting his prime years in Turkey. He deserves a better team in a top league.”
Once again, Victor Osimhen’s performances have turned opposition supporters into reluctant admirers, underlining his reputation as one of the most feared strikers in world football and a driving force behind Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 ambitions.
