2023 AFCON: Onuachu A Good Replacement - Former Enyimba Forward

Sampson Adedeji

Former Enyimba International striker Victor Ezeji has described Paul Onuachu as a good replacement for the injured Sadiq Umar, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

Sadiq was ruled out of the competition when they arrived in Ivory Coast due to injury and the Trabzonspor of Turkey attacker was called up to take his place.

While speaking to Punch Corresspondent, Ezeji emphasised that Onuachu is a good addition to the team and the wingers must do the needful because most of his goals came through his head.

 “I don’t think there is a crisis, because the other guys they have called up are good strikers as well. 

It is just that the Super Eagles have not keyed into someone like Onuachu’s potential, he has a good height, and most of his goals are with his head, but anytime he plays with the Super Eagles, wide players like (Samuel) Chukwueze and Moses Simon fail to bring the crosses for him", he said.

Onuachu was part the Super Eagles team to the 2019 AFCON under former coach Gernot Rohr.
