#GoalNGChat: Is Osimhen ready for the U23s?

The inclusion of the 16-year-old in Samson Siasia's squad for the Olympic qualifiers has raised a few eyebrows. Is the player ready to carry such a burden at this age?
Once again, it’s #GoalNGChat time this week; yet another issue of national footballing importance is placed on the front burner for discourse.
The African U23 Championship kicks off in a matter of days, with Nigeria’s campaign kicking off on the 29th of November against Mali. This tournament is intended as a qualifier for next year’s Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro.
The composition of Samson Siasia’s squad has been highlighted by the inclusion of Victor Osimhen. The lanky teenager announced himself at the U17 World Cup with 10 goals in seven games, but that was only last month!
Is he ready for this level, being only 16? That is the question: “Victor Osimhen: Too much, too soon?”
The #GoalNGChat comes up at 8:00p.m local time. All tweets into the event must include the hashtag: #GoalNGChat to be logged, and to also stand a chance of being included in the round-up editorial. See you then.
