How Azeez and Oseni Could Add New Threat for Super Eagles at Unity Cup

Nigeria coach Eric Chelle has named Femi Azeez and Owen Oseni among the debutants in his Super Eagles squad for the Unity Cup 2026. They join experienced names like Victor Osimhen, Ademola Lookman and Arthur Okonkwo as Nigeria continues to expand its attacking options. Azeez’s ball-carrying from wide areas brings direct progression and unpredictability to the final third. His dribbling and half-space penetration can unsettle organised defences. Oseni, on the other hand, specialises in clever penalty-box movement and high-value finishing, offering a clinical edge against tiring backlines. Together, they introduce contrasting but complementary weapons for the Super Eagles. Their inclusion against Zimbabwe, India and Jamaica highlights a tactical push to diversify Nigeria’s attacking profile and provide new solutions in different match scenarios.
