Victor Osimhen has touched down at the Super Eagles camp in Uyo ahead of the African Cup of Nations qualifying matches against Benin Republic and Rwanda.

The 25-year-old who has joined Galatasaray on a season-long loan from Napoli arrived at the team's camp a few hours ago.

Osimhen's delayed arrival can be attributed to the controversies surrounding his departure from Napoli. He is the last player to report to camp.

According to Nigerian journalist Bucha Laba, the former Lille striker is fully fit and poised for the upcoming qualifiers.

Nigeria will take on Benin Republic at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, before traveling away to Kigali to take on Rwanda three days later.
