“For me, Osimhen is under pressure; that’s why he is trying everything possible to score,” Udeze told Brila FM.
“The pressure is affecting him and I think his confidence level has dropped a little bit whenever he faces the opponent goalpost, so he needs to get his confidence back.”
Osimhen will look to rediscover his scoring form and ease the pressure when Nigeria and Cameroon meet in the AFCON round of 16 this weekend.
