Fulham and Super Eagles midfielder Alex Iwobi has emphasized the extraordinary drive of his Nigeria teammate Victor Osimhen, describing the Galatasaray striker’s approach to training and matchs is unmatched.
In an episode of the Beast Mode On Podcast released on April 16, 2026, Iwobi explained how Osimhen’s relentless attitude sets him apart as a world-class forward.
Iwobi revealed that Osimhen’s commitment often leads him to push boundaries, even bending rules in training to come out on top. “Every time in training, he’s always getting hurt because he’s got to put his leg or his head into something that he shouldn’t do. He’s always been fighting,” Iwobi said. “Then sometimes he cheats, and he knows he’s cheating just to win. But it’s just a sick mentality.” He also credited Osimhen’s Lagos street roots for shaping this honest and competitive spirit, reporting how the forward personally encouraged him after tough losses while fighting for the national team.
The comments come as Osimhen continues to impress at club level and remains a key figure for the Super Eagles. Iwobi’s insights emphasize the cultural demand for total commitment in Nigerian football.
