Where Yekini was introverted and blossomed only in his pitch persona; Osimhen, for all the wrong and right reasons, is effusive, and sometimes self-effacing. Passion and history connect both as No.9s of the Super Eagles, past and present.
Yekini leads the all-time goal-scoring chart with 37 goals in 57 games-an average of about 0.65 goals per game while Osimhen’s record is 15 goals in 23 appearances for an average of about 0.65 goals per game.Yekini was a no-frills striker, always looking to gallop away from his marker and blaze a shot goalwards.
And he is showing marked improvement in his game-both tactically and physically, while smoothening out the rough edges. Osimhen is pacy with a ferocious shot, especially with his right foot. He displays a tremendous jump, and he is adding that killer calmness in front of the goal as showcased by his fourth strike against Sao Tome and Principe, which may not have been possible 12 months ago.Osimhen scares defenders. While the 23-year-old is still raw, his pace, determination, and never-give-up spirit mean central defenders are always looking to devise new ways to counteract these characteristics.
One advantage he already has on Yekini is his heading ability. Starting out, both players were poor at using their heads, preferring their feet, but the modern No.9 must be a complete package.
