Ghana legend Gyan names Victor Osimhen his favourite striker

Former Ghana striker Asamoah Gyan has named Nigeria's Victor Osimhen as his favourite striker in modern football. Speaking on Rio Ferdinand's podcast, Gyan praised Osimhen's passion and work rate. "Victor Osimhen plays with the heart. He gives everything," Gyan said. The former Black Stars forward expressed surprise that top European clubs haven't pursued the Galatasaray striker aggressively. Gyan specifically appealed to Manchester United to sign Osimhen, suggesting the Premier League giants should move for the Nigerian forward. Osimhen, who currently plays in Turkey, has maintained his reputation as one of Africa's most exciting attacking talents. The endorsement from Gyan—one of Ghana's most decorated players—adds to Osimhen's growing profile in international football circles.
