Super Eagles Osimhen blasts teammate Kvaratshekelia agent over snide comment before Afcon
By Olisa Obi
Nigeria’s Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, has responded fierily to the agent of his club Kvicka Kvaratshekelia, and teammate, Mamuka Jugeli.
Jugeli had claimed earlier this week that the Nigeria international would join a Saudi Pro League side next summer.
He then further said that his client was different as he would rather play for a top European club like Real Madrid or Manchester City.

The Nigerian international in his Instagram story replied saying “Dear Mamuka Jugeli, you are a piece of filth and a disgrace. I’m embarrassed at your sense of reasoning. Dumb***k. Keep my name out of your mouth.”
Osimhen and Kvaratskhelia greatly contributed to Napoli‘s first Serie A title in 33 years in 2022-23.
The Nigerian striker was the best league scorer last term, while Kvara was named the best Serie A player for 2022-23.
What’s Next for Osimhen?
Before their departure to Ivory Coast for the Afcon which begins in 3 days, the Super Eagles were hosted by the Lagos State governor, Babajide Sanwo Olu.
Sanwo-Olu shared photos on his X handle to make this known.
He captioned the photos: “It was an honour to host the Super Eagles this evening at the Lagos State/NFF Send Forth event as they gear up for the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. My prayers are with our team for strength, resilience, and unity on this journey.
“To the Super Eagles: You carry the hopes of a nation on your shoulders. As you represent us at the #AFCON2023, may you play with passion, unity, and determination. Make Nigeria proud and bring the cup home.
“Let’s soar, Super Eagles!”
The governor gave the charge when he hosted the team to a special dinner at the Lagos House, Marina, before the team’s departure to Cote d’Ivoire for the AFCON tournament. The Super Eagles showcased the nations colours as they were dressed in native attires, putting on a white kaftan with green caps.
The Super Eagles begin their race for a fourth Afcon title against Equatorial Guinea on Sunday.
