Former Italian forward, Beppe Savoldi says Super Eahles forward Victor Osimhen is an extraordinary player and is the most important component of Napoli’s attack.
Osimhen has been sensational for Serie A table-topping Napoli this season. The 24-year-old goal-poacher looks like he has finally come into his own after two average seasons at Naples.
The Nigerian goal-poacher has netted 21 goals for Napoli and made four assists in 26 appearances across all competitions.
His goals have helped Napoli to maintain their spot at the top of Serie A and the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
“Napoli have two different offensive solutions”, Savoldi, who was Serie A top scorer in the 1972/73 season told Napoli Magazine.
“One is the verticalization towards the Nigerian, a real gazelle; the other concerns set pieces, in which perhaps I could have had my say.
“He’s an extraordinary footballer, ready for anything. He just lacks the expertise to control the ball with his back to the goal, to make the team go up. He will improve in this too, I am sure.”
