The 20-year-old joined Lille from Charleroi and wants to follow the example set by Nigerians who have featured for the club

Nigerian youngster and new Lille signing Victor Osimhen admitted he wants to follow in the footsteps of Nigerians who previously represented the club.The Super Eagles forward ended his association with Belgian side RSC Charleroi when he penned a five-year deal at Stade Pierre-Mauroy.

Osimhen is keen to get the latest move in his career off to the best possible start after taking part in 2019 Africa Cup of Nations, where Nigeria won bronze.

Now, he hopes to make a good impression in France and emulate Nigeria’s celebrated sons - Peter Odemwingie and Vincent Enyeama - in the process.
