Former Super Eagles player, and Assistant Coach, Daniel Amokachi, has
named former Chelsea midfielder, John Mikel Obi, as the greatest
Nigerian player ever.
Amokachi, who was recently appointed as Nigeria’s Football Ambassador
by President Muhammadu Buhari, believes Mike Obi is ahead of Nigerian
legends, Austin Jay Jay Okocha and Kanu Nwankwo because of his
achievements in football so far.
“Mikel Obi is the greatest Nigerian player,” Amokachi told Brila FM.
“He has won everything that a player can hope to – the Champions
League, Europa, AFCON in 2013, and he also captained the national team.
“As a footballer, your laurels count, and that will surely count for
Mikel because nobody has won that much in Nigerian football.”
Mikel Obi retired from international football in 2019 after leading
the Super Eagles to win the third-place bronze medal at the 2019 AFCON
in Egypt.
The former Trabzonspor star has won nine major trophies in his career
so far, including Champions League, Europa League, and two Premier
League title
