AC Milan winger Samuel Chukwueze is confident Nigeria will annex the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations title in Ivory Coast.
The Super Eagles kick started the continental showpiece with a stalemate against Equatorial Guinea last Sunday.
The three-time AFCON winners came from behind to snatch a point against their opponent in the AFCON opening game.
Iban Salvador opened the scoring for Equatorial Guinea in the 36th minute mark before Napoli star Victor Osimhen pulled parity two minutes later.
“I think we are going to win the AFCON. I’m here to win the AFCON, I’m not here to just play. I did not stay away from my club to just come and participate in the tournament, I came here to win because if I actually don’t want to win, I would have stayed at my club. I decided to come here so I can win” he said.
Nigeria faces a daunting task against Ivory Coast in the second group game set for Thursday, January 17, 2024.
