SCORENigeria can exclusively report that coach Eric Chelle is now considering another striker who will best compliment Victor Osimhen as the Super Eagles go for all-out attack against Rwanda in next month’s must-win 2026 World Cup qualifier.
A source told SCORENigeria the coach plans to start two strikers in Rwanda and take the game to the home team from the first whistle.
“The coach is treating this game as a cup final, it’s a do or die match,” the source informed SCORENigeria
“That’s why he will play a second striker along with Osimhen to take the game to Rwanda.”
Victor Boniface could be a possibility, but he has yet to establish himself in the Super Eagles, while Taiwo Awoniyi has struggled for game time at Premier League club Nottingham Forest.
Paul Onuachu is now enjoying more playing time in the Premier League with Southampton and officials told SCORENigeria the giant striker could well be considered for a recall after he failed to fire last June against South Africa and Benin in crucial World Cup qualifiers.
