Peseiro Picks In-form Osimhen As Team’s Penalty Taker

Super Eagles head coach has picked in-form Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen as Super Eagles penalty taker.

The Portuguese tactician reached the conclusion after a series of training on Wednesday night where he drilled Osimhen and Kenneth Omeruo on penalties for 20 minutes.

The three goalkeepers who were in camp (Francis Uzoho, Victor Sochima and Kingsley Aniagboso) took turns to man the goalpost but it was Francis Uzoho who got more concentration because he saved three out of the 10 penalties.
