Ballon d’Or: Nigerian Coach Ojekunle Names the Only Super Eagles Star Who Can Win the Award

Ballon d’Or: Nigerian Coach Ojekunle Names the Only Super Eagles Star Who Can Win the Award. Nigerian coach Folabi Ojekunle has stated emphatically that Napoli striker Victor Osimhen is the only Super Eagles star who has the prospect of winning the Ballon d’Or award.

Ojekunle disclosed this while speaking with Sports Brief exclusively about the 2022 Ballon d’Or award which was won by Real Madrid striker Karim Benzema.

There is no doubt about the fact that Benzema has performed incredibly well so far this year as he also helped Real Madrid to win the Champions League beating Liverpool in the final.

Folabi Ojekunle’s view about Osimhen winning the Ballon d’Or

”Victor Osimhen is the only player for now I think has a great future for him to fight and compete for the Ballon d’Or award and that is if he keeps improving his game.

‘He has the ability to excel and Victor is also young and I just hope he keeps firing in all cylinders and the future will be bright for him.”

Meanwhile, no Nigerian has ever won the Ballon d’Or award before and Liberian President George Weah is the only African who had won it.
