Speaking to Sky Sports UK, Onyeka shared his experiences of playing alongside Osimhen in the Nigeria squad during the Africa Cup of Nations. He emphasized Osimhen's competitive spirit and his unwavering commitment to success.
"He’s too expensive! He’s a really good guy but he’s someone that wants to win. He doesn’t like to lose, even in training. He always wants to push players around him, try to encourage them. He’s a fighter."

"He’s always there to help the team, fight for the team. Even when the team is down he’ll be the first man to push the team. He never gives up. For me, he was one of the best players in the tournament but people don’t really see what he does."

With Osimhen's talents garnering attention from top clubs across Europe, Onyeka hopes that his friend and teammate will make the move to the Premier League, where he believes Osimhen's skills and tenacity will be appreciated on a broader stage.
