AFCON 2023: Yakubu Ayegbeni names four teams who can win trophy

Former Everton striker, Yakubu Ayegbeni has named Nigeria among four teams who can win the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations, AFCON.

The teams are Nigeria, Senegal, Cameroon and Guinea.

Senegal are the current defending AFCON champions after beating Egypt in the final in the last edition.

“Nigeria have the quality to win it. But there is also Senegal, Cameroon and even Guinea, who have some real talent,” Ayegbeni was quoted by The Mirror as saying.

“Boniface is going to be a huge miss for our country.

“He is a guy that can score goals and hold the ball upfront so well. He can also drop deep and create chances. Forwards aren’t an issue for us but we’re going to be reliant on our strikers like Victor Osimhen and Terem Moffi.”
