Odion Ighalo Beats Osimhen To Nigeria’s 2022 Best Striker Accolade
Al-Hilal of Saudi Arabia striker Odion Ighalo has been ranked Nigeria’s best striker for the year 2022 according to new statistics.
International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) rated the former Manchester United forward ahead of Napoli striker Victor Osimhen.
The former Watford and Manchester United forward placed 34th with 28 goals for Al-Shabab and Al-Hilal, while Victor Osimhen, who plays for Napoli, did not make the 67-man list, Brila reports.
It does not take anything away, as Osimhen has also been in sublime form for his Italian club, scoring crucial goals to keep them at the summit of the Serie A.
Meanwhile, France striker Kylian Mbappe topped the chart, having scored 56 goals in 56 matches for Ligue 1 outfit Paris Saint Germain.
Mbappe is followed by Norwegian star Erling Haaland who netted 46 goals, while Bergson, German Cano and Robert Lewandowski complete the top five of 2022.
