Galatasaray forward, Victor Osimhen, has revealed that during his first call-up to the Super Eagles in 2017, a senior teammate sent him away from a hotel room.
The 27-year-old said it was Kelechi Iheanacho who stepped in and welcomed him instead.
Osimhen shared the story during a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe early on Saturday.
He said: “When I came, I met Iheanacho. And I told him, ‘ah, see me, I’m gonna carry your boots.’ So he said I should come to his room so, he gave me his room number.
“So, as I got to his room — I don’t just want to mention the name — he had a roommate. So, as I knocked on the door, the roommate opened the door. So, he like bounced me out of the room.”
Osimhen did not reveal who the player was that turned him away.
