Victor Osimhen headlines Alex Iwobi’s ultimate Nigeria starting XI

Alex Iwobi has made over 70 appearances for the Nigeria national team since making his debut in 2015.

Since then, the Fulham midfielder has shared the pitch with some of Nigeria's best-ever players.

He was recently asked to name a starting eleven of the best Nigerian players he's played alongside.

At 28, the former Arsenal star has become a key member of the squad and was ever-present as the Super Eagles reached the final of the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, per BBC.

In an interview with Victor Modo, Iwobi named former Wolves star, Carl Ikeme, as his starting goalkeeper ahead of Stanley Nwabali and Maduka Okoye. He used a 4-3-3 formation.

He included William Troost-Ekong and Efe Ambrose as his central defenders in defence. Ola Aina and Elderson Echiejile were his full-backs.

Chelsea legend, John Obi Mikel, former Lazio star Ogenyi Onazi, and Leicester City’s Wilfred Ndidi formed his midfield three.

Up front, reigning African Footballer of the Year, Victor Osimhen will lead the line and will be supported by Victor Moses and Ademola Lookman.
