Rasheed Yekini should not be compared with other African strikers, says former Real Madrid midfielder Mutiu Adepoju.
The Super Eagles’ all-time leading scorer bowed out to legendary Egypt forward Hossam Hassan in the African Legends Cup of Nations’ first round.
Notwithstanding Yekini winning three of the four categories, he failed to progress to the Round of 16 against Hassan who was dominant at club level where he was a serial and record-breaking winner in Egypt.
His former international teammate, Adepoju who was also part of the 1994 Africa Cup of Nations squad insists the 1993 African Player of the Year winner is not below any African striker’s rank.
