The 25-year-old recently completed a move to the Turkish league earlier this week on a loan deal to Galatasaray, where he is expected to spend the next year of his football career.

Eguavoen, who won the 1994 AFCON with the Super Eagles of Nigeria will be in charge of the team when they play Benin on Saturday and Rwanda on Tuesday.

Napoli, who excluded Osimhen's name from the Serie A squad list has given the go-ahead for the reigning Africa Player of the Year to join Galatasaray on a straight loan with no option to buy.

The Nigeria senior men's team will host their neighbours, Benin Republic in a matchday one encounter at the Godswill Akpabio International Stadium, Uyo on Saturday.

Chelsea were among the clubs interested in signing the Nigerian international during the summer transfer window but couldn’t reach an agreement with the player and the club.

According to the Egyptian superstar, he could leave the club when his current contract ends at the end of the season as no one from the club has spoken to him about a fresh deal.

Chelsea are hoping to add Osimhen to the squad before the end of the season as they intend to strengthen their attacking sides; the Blues have also considered Ivan Toney as a target.

Goalkeeper Ramsdale, who became a second-choice keeper since the signing of David Raya will be joining the newly promoted side, Southampton, after both clubs agreed an initial £ 25 million transfer fee.

For the competition, 34 teams have picked up qualification while the remaining two will be decided later today in a playoff game.

The team comprises three goalkeepers, seven defenders, six midfielders, and seven forwards, which have big names such as Alex Iwobi, William Ekong, and Victor Boniface included in it.
