Odion Ighalo will not end 2023 as Nigeria’s top goalscorer of the year after firing blanks in Al Wehda’s tough 1-0 defeat against Al Shabab.
Ighalo claimed the honour in 2022 when his 27 goals beat Onuachu’s 21.
Despite Ighalo repeating the feat and mustering 27 goals in all competitions combined for Al-Hilal and current club, Al-Wehda, Osimhen will end 2023 as Nigeria’s highest-scoring player with 29 goals for Napoli.
The Africa Player of the Year also has another five goals for Nigeria in 2023, taking his total tally for club and country this year to 34.
