Former Brazil star, Careca, has revealed his admiration for Napoli star, Victor Osimhen, saying the Nigeria international remains one of the best strikers at the moment.
Osimhen has been outstanding for I Partenopei this season, scoring 16 goals and assisting five in 26 appearances.
Careca was part of the last golden Napoli team alongside Diego Maradona, that won the Scudetto and UEFA Cup in the 1989/1990 season.
The former Brazil international admires Osimhen for his strong mentality, and he believes that the former Lille star is gifted with a lot of qualities that makes him stand out among strikers in the world today.

“He’s going strong, and he’s a striker who scores. He’s fast, powerful, and strong,” Careca told Napoli Magazine.
“I see he’s someone who wants to win and make history. I’ve seen he’s tough, always aiming for the goal. I like him.”
The last time Napoli won the Scudetto, it was a Careca and Maradona show. Osimhen has been brilliant for the Luciano Spalletti-tutored side this season. With six games left, Osimhen would look to continue with his outstanding performances to help the Partenopeans to their first title in 32 years.
