In a candid and revealing interview with Elegebete TV Sports, Nigerian football legend Sunday Oliseh shared his honest opinions on various topics, including his thoughts on the current Super Eagles squad. Oliseh, who had a illustrious career with the national team, named Victor Boniface and Ademola Lookman as the two best players in the current Super Eagles team, according to All Nigeria Soccer.
Oliseh was full of praise for Boniface, a striker who plays for Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga. He described the young forward as a complete player who can do it all, describing his ability to play with his back to goal, his pace, aerial strength, and ability to carry the team. Oliseh, who watched Boniface play numerous times due to his proximity to Leverkusen, believes that the 22-year-old has the potential to be a key player for the Super Eagles.
The former captain also praised Lookman, a forward who plays for Atalanta in Serie A, highlighting his impressive skills and recent performances. Lookman was the standout player for the Super Eagles at the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, directly participating in four goals.
Oliseh's endorsement of Boniface and Lookman reflects his belief in their talent and potential to lead the Super Eagles to success. Despite the team's recent loss to Republic of Benin, Oliseh remains optimistic about the team's future with players like Boniface and Lookman leading the charge.
