Osimhen, 17, has sorted out his future after he agreed to join top Bundesliga side Wolfsburg next year after he shone with both the Nigeria U17 and Olympic teams last year.
Akpoborie also played for Wolfsburg and said that the Volkswagen Arena is a perfect platform for Osimhen to horn his skills in Europe, just as he canvassed for the youngster’s inclusion to the Super Eagles.
“There is no doubt that Osimhen is a talent. He can develop into a great player,” said Akpoborie now a television pundit.
“Personally, I think a player like Osimhen can be given a first push into the Super Eagles even if he is not going to play now.
“Henry Nwosu, for instance, was given a push in the national team from St. Finbarrs College (Lagos) and he grabbed the opportunity, I think we can encourage more of these young players coming through.”
