Super Eagles Head Coach, Eric Chelle, has explained that he did not invite Victor Osimhen to the Unity Cup and the friendly match against Russia because he wanted the striker to focus on his transfer situation. 


Chelle, who believes that Osimhen needs time to sort out his future, especially since there are ongoing transfer negotiations, said the player might not be fully focused on the games due to the pressure of potential transfer deals.


Chelle highly praised Osimhen, calling him the "best striker in the world", added that he wants to protect him physically and mentally during this crucial period. 


He also mentioned potential clubs that might be interested in Osimhen, such as Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona, or Real Madrid, although it seems Galatasaray and Al-Hilal are the most likely options for Osimhen's future.
