“When I was young, my favorite team was Barcelona with Samuel Eto’o,” Nigerian star striker Victor Osimhen once told the media, according to Diario Sport.

“It is still my favourite team,” the 24-year-old added.

Victor is the next man after Joao Cancelo to declare his love for Barcelona’s 2009 team.

Did Osimhen hint at his desire to join Barcelona this way?

The player is currently on bad terms with his current club, Napoli, after the Serie A club came up with a controversial post on their TikTok.
