Osimhen Earns “Complete Machine” Praise From Eric Chelle
Nigeria striker Victor Osimhen received glowing praise from Super Eagles coach Eric Chelle in early February after his latest run of dominant performances at club level, reinforcing his status as one of world football’s elite forwards. Speaking to the media, Chelle described Osimhen as “a complete machine,” highlighting his impact for both club and country.
“Victor has everything a top striker needs — power, movement, mentality,” Chelle said, adding that “he is currently the best striker in the world when he is fit and focused.” The coach stressed that Osimhen’s pressing and work rate set him apart, not just his goals.
Osimhen has continued to deliver consistently this season, combining goals with relentless attacking runs and physical presence. “He never stops working for the team,” Chelle noted. “Even without scoring, he changes games.”
The Nigeria coach also pointed to Osimhen’s leadership in the squad. “The younger players learn just by watching him,” Chelle said, underlining the striker’s growing influence as Nigeria prepare for upcoming international fixtures.
