Galatasaray forward Victor Osimhen has opened up about a tense moment during his first Super Eagles call-up in 2017, when a senior teammate reportedly refused him entry to a hotel room.
The 27-year-old credited Kelechi Iheanacho for stepping in and offering him support.
Speaking on a Twitch livestream with comedian Carter Efe early Saturday, Osimhen recounted: “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 declined to reveal the identity of the player who turned him away, leaving the moment shrouded in mystery.
