Galatasaray striker Victor Osimhen has revealed that during his first call-up to the Super Eagles in 2017, a senior teammate turned him away from a hotel room.
The 27-year-old said it was Kelechi Iheanacho who stepped in and welcomed him instead.
Speaking on a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe in the early hours of Saturday, Osimhen 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 disclose the identity of the player who turned him away.
