The head coach of Napoli, Luciano Spalletti, believes that Victor Osimhen is one of the top strikers in football right now and predicts that the Nigerian will develop into a remarkable player.
The Partenopei defeated AS Roma 1-0 on the road on Sunday night thanks to a goal from Osimhen.
The Nigerian international, who was making his first start in six weeks, sprinted past Chris Smalling before firing home from an impossible angle.
The 23-year-old has now scored in his last three appearances for the Blues.
“Osimhen has these sudden changes of pace that only he can do. When he gets his emotions sorted out, he will become extraordinary,” Spalletti told DAZN.
“At times he tries to do everything himself, attacks the ball and the goal without realising where his teammates are. But he is physical, he is strong and we need him to complete the squad, also in the air.”
Napoli remain unbeaten in Serie A this season and the win against Roma was their 11th consecutive victory across all competitions.
