Canada-based teen sensation names Osimhen role model

Canada-based Mac-Ford Akhabue has named Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen his role model.

The Oakville Blue  Devils Canada centre-back said the Galatasaray’s in-form forward’s work rate, determination, resilience and talent inspired him to pick the Edo-born star as his role model.

The 18-year-old former High Park FC sensation, who won the New York Cup with Bryst Academy, said, “I will say my role model is Victor Osimhen. Apart from coming from my tribe in Esan, Edo State, he has been motivating me in a way. He worked hard to be where he is today in football globally. His work rate, dedication, determination to excel and talent were it for me and ever since I have been monitoring him I see him as a player any serious  aspiring young  lad should emulate to go higher in the game.”

Akhabue, who played in the  Imodel League at age 15, disclosed that he desires to take his football beyond his community.

He thus expressed the hope of playing in League 2 and 1 (Semi-Pro) this summer.
