I am glad that Victor Osimhen finally secured a club after all the delays and tensions. Seeing this headline today, I think it is worth discussing because it has some lessons. To be a successful player, talent is not enough, character is more important. Victor made some mistakes that affected his transfer, he has anger management issues. His unguided comments about some coaches he has worked under are not okay. Coaches should have the right human management skills but no coach would like to work under a player who cannot control his emotions.
If this is true then it’s Arteta’s loss. Osimhen could have really helped even the playing field for Arsenal. I can’t say Osimhen has anger issues because I have not seen him act unprofessionally on the pitch. The incident with Finidi George did not seem to me like it was premeditated. At the time, tensions were high and the country was looking for a scape goat to blame for losing the World Cup qualifying matches. We had just lost the AFCON final, and his teammate Alex Iwobi was facing strong cyber bullying from the fans at the time. I think Osimhen did not want to be the next victim and acted out of impulse to clear his name from the rumours that he didn’t want to play for the Super Eagles.

BTW I watched the Nigeria vs Benin match yesterday and I don't see Finidi George coaching anymore Nigeria in that match, so is it possible that the dispute with Osimhen has made him sacked at this time?  
Finidi George resigned from the position before Osimhen video came out so Osimhen’s rant did not have anything to do with Finidi quitting his position as Super Eagles manager.
