Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen is in top form ahead of next month 's Super Eagles 2026 World Cup qualifiers clash with Rwanda and Zimbabwe.

The striker, who is on loan from Napoli, currently has 29 goals in 25 games for Galatasaray across all competitions in Turkey.

He had missed the opening four games of the ill-fated series due to injuries.

The 26-year-old is also yet to feature at the FIFA World Cup, a desire that is expected to boost his performance in the qualifiers.

“You have to give everything; you know it’s a dream of every youngster to be at the World Cup. Mine is no exception. So for me, I want to be there just like every one of my teammates and we are really looking forward to the game against Rwanda and Zimbabwe to try and correct all the mistakes we have made in the past. So, we will be ready,” Osimhen told journalist Oluwshina Okeleji.

Osimhen also spoke about the group stage draw of the 2025 AFCON which will see Nigeria battle Tunisia, Uganda and Tanzania when the tournament will be held from December 21 to January 18, 2026 in Morocco.

“It’s not going to be easy, this is African football and you can get a lot of surprises but we will take each game as it comes. We have a new coach and I spoke with him a couple of times and I know the kind of objectives he has set for the team and I am looking forward to the first training so we can feel his presence,” Osimhen added.
