Osimhen will feature at the AFCON for the second time.

The forward made his first appearance five years ago in Egypt, but missed out on the last edition hosted by Cameroon due to injury.

Senegal’s Sadio Mane, Egypt’s talisman Mohamed Salah and Mohamed Kudus are some of the other top stars tipped by CAF to shine in Cote d’Ivoire.
