Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has recounted how a senior member of the Super Eagles squad in 2017 turned him away from a hotel room during his first invitation to the national team.
The 27-year-old explained that Kelechi Iheanacho later stepped in and welcomed him.
Osimhen shared the experience during a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe in the early hours of 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, however, chose not to disclose the identity of the player involved.
