Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has been honoured alongside some of football’s biggest stars for his impact on Nigerian football.
Osimhen has received global recognition after being listed among the most prolific international goalscorers of the current decade on Wednesday by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS).
The Super Eagles striker made the podium for the “Top Scorers of National Teams – 3rd Decade of the 21st Century (2021–2030)” rankings, placing him in elite company alongside Erling Haaland, Harry Kane, Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.
Osimhen currently sits joint 14th on the list with Serbia’s Aleksandar Mitrović, with both players scoring 27 international goals since 2021. The tally underlines his consistency and growing influence for Nigeria on the global stage. A breakdown of his numbers shows steady production across the decade.
He scored five goals in 2021, repeated that total in 2022 and 2023, added three in 2024, and exploded for nine goals in 2025 — his most productive year yet.
