“I was really impressed with Femi Azeez,” Osuchukwu said.
According to the former youth international, the forward’s well-taken goals highlighted his confidence and readiness for international football.
“He showed quality and confidence,” he implied.
Osuchukwu also believes Azeez’s emergence could help reduce the heavy goalscoring responsibility often placed on Victor Osimhen within the Super Eagles squad.
“He can help take some pressure off Osimhen,” he noted.
The former player welcomed Azeez’s addition to the national team and stressed that competition among forwards will only strengthen Nigeria’s attack.
“Competition in attack is healthy for the team,” he added.
Azeez’s performance against Zimbabwe has already generated excitement among Nigerian supporters as the Super Eagles continue rebuilding under coach Eric Chelle.
“He looks like one of the new exciting attacking options,” many football observers believe.
Nigeria’s attacking department remains one of the strongest areas within the squad, with several new names now pushing for opportunities.
“The competition for places is becoming intense,” supporters continue to say.
For Chidi Osuchukwu, the message is clear.
Femi Azeez made a strong statement.
The Super Eagles need more goalscoring options.
And fresh attacking talents can help improve the team moving forward.
Because successful national teams thrive on depth, competition, and reliable goalscorers.
