Fulham playmaker Alex Iwobi has shared his take on Super Eagles teammate Victor Osimhen’s “sick” mindset.

Iwobi asserted on the Best Mode On podcast that Osimhen will fight and cheat to win.

Osimhen has scored 35 goals in 52 caps for Nigeria and is one of the best strikers in the world.

Iwobi said, “Every time in training, he’s always getting hurt in training because he’s got to put his leg or his head into something that he shouldn’t do. He’s always been fighting.

“I’m not surprised he is where he is right now. Some would say he’s not polished, he’s a bit raw, but Victor will create himself five chances a game, just himself, just from hard work and running.

“He doesn’t care who you are. He doesn’t care if you’re [Virgil] van Dijk, if you’re a guy from non-league – no disrespect to non-league – he will fight.

“He will treat the game in the Champions League as if he’s playing with his brethren.

“He always wants to win, and that mentality is sick. It’s sick. Sometimes it can be over the top because in training, he would like to fight and make sure he’s winning.

“Then sometimes he cheats, and he knows he’s cheating just to win. But it’s just a sick mentality.”
