Chelle’s Untouchables: Osimhen, Iwobi and Bassey Set the Bar for Super Eagles
Eric Chelle has laid down clear benchmarks for anyone aiming to wear the Super Eagles jersey after Nigeria’s recent friendlies in London and Warsaw. He dubbed Victor Osimhen “the best striker in the world” and reserved midfield honours for Alex Iwobi, warning that any challenger must be more magical than him. At the back, Calvin Bassey leads a group of centre-back candidates, while full-back slots are also fiercely contested. Chelle’s message is unambiguous: no spot is a gift. Every player must match or exceed these “untouchables” in intensity, aggression and performance if they want a place in the squad. For fans and aspiring Eagles, the door is open but the bar has never been higher.
