Super Eagles forward Odion Ighalo has set a winning return for the team at the 2019 African Cup of Nations in Egypt.

Nigeria, three-time African champions, will make a return to the competition in the summer after missing out of the last two editions in 2017 and 2019.

Speaking on his expectations ahead of the tournament, Ighalo said everyone in the team understands one another and thus will do well in Egypt.

”I must commend the coach (Rohr) for the wonderful job he is doing, trying to prepare the team ahead of the AFCON,” the former Watford man added.

“I have no doubt that we are going to do well. Majority of the players are from the World Cup team in Russia , we have played together and we know ourselves very well.”
