Sunday Oliseh says Rashidi Yekini is the greatest striker Nigeria has ever had.

Nigeria has produced several exceptional strikers, including Daniel Amokachi, Yakubu Aiyegbeni, Nwankwo Kanu, Obafemi Martins, Victor Ikpeba, and recently Victor Osimhen.

However, Oliseh believes Yekini stands out among them.

Oliseh considers Yekini to be unparalleled. In response to a post on X commemorating the 30th anniversary of Samson Siasia’s goal against Argentina in the 1994 World Cup, Oliseh praised both Yekini and Siasia.

Oliseh wrote, “Samson was simply exceptional. Look at his first-touch control to dribble the defender, his composure & the world-class finish. Yekini’s intelligence to first attract many players to himself before releasing Sammy with the assist is why he is the greatest striker Nigeria has ever had!!”

Yekini scored 37 goals in 62 games, making him Nigeria’s all-time top scorer. He was named African Footballer of the Year in 1993. In the 1994 World Cup, Yekini scored Nigeria’s first-ever goal in the tournament during a 3-0 victory over Bulgaria and was the top scorer in the 1992 and 1994 AFCON tournaments.

Do you agree with Oliseh???
