The Napoli forward built his elite player, borrowing skill sets from other footballers.

Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen has built his ideal player, naming the players whose skills he covets in different areas of the game. 

The 24-year-old is currently In Nigeria as the international break is currently on. He and the rest of the Super Eagles team are scheduled to face Sao Tome and Principe in their final group stage game on September

What Osimhen said 

Despite being one of the best footballers in the world, as a nomination for the Ballon d'Or confirms, the Napoli forward believes having the skill sets of four footballers would make him a superior footballer.

The striker was asked by the Football Fans Tribe to create an ideal footballer by borrowing certain skill sets—heading, right foot, left foot, and ball control—from existing professionals. 

Osimhen, without hesitating, picked Al-Nassr forward Cristiano Ronaldo for heading, Neymar Jr's right foot, the magic of Lionel Messi's left foot, and Dimitar Berbatov's ball control.  

Osimhen has been charged by CAF as he aims to win the AFCON qualifiers' top scorer award, sitting on top of the standings with seven goals.
