Nigerian footballer Stanley Nwabali has thrown his support behind Victor Osimhen, who is facing a challenging time after his failed transfer attempts.

Osimhen's desire to leave Napoli was unsuccessful, leading to his exclusion from the Serie A squad and potential sidelining from club football until next year.

Nwabali took to the X platform to offer words of encouragement to his fellow international teammate, saying:

"All great legends and all Hall of Fame fighters have their storylines. Good, bad, and worst kinds of views from people who have no idea what the real story is and what it takes. I would define a myth as a story that has survived. VO9."

Nwabali's message aims to remind Osimhen that even the greatest legends face challenges and criticisms, but their stories and resilience are what define them.

By using the term "myth," Nwabali emphasizes that Osimhen's journey is one of perseverance and determination.
