Napoli manager Luciano Spaletti: “I am amazed by the potential Osimhen hasn’t put into practice yet. He is devastating on long balls, can stand strong physically, and has courage too.
“He’s had his face cut two or three times because he never backs down. He almost always takes risks but he’s a player who has potential and room for improvement.”
@jhybo Victor Osimhen go score goals so tey so tey so tey

@minarzouki You know the best thing about Osimhen? He’s so grateful to be a footballer and everyday he expresses that gratitude in his performances. He gives everything without fear. Loyalty to the game to perform at the highest possible level every minute. Osimhen is perfection.
@ZacyLowy Victor Osimhen’s ability to judge the flight and velocity of aerial balls makes him one of the deadliest center forwards in the world. He excels at not just heading in crosses, but using his body to bring down long balls. Unstoppable performance today against a stalwart defense.
