Former Chelsea defender Celestine Babayaro says Borussia Dortmund forward Erling Haaland isn’t in anyway better than Napoli record buy Victor Osimhen.
Haaland emerged as the talk of Europe last season when he exploded with goals in the UEFA Champions League group stages for Red Bull Salzburg before making a high profile switch to Bundesliga giants Borussia Dortmund in January.
He continued his fine form for the German side and ended the season with 17 goals in 16 games despite his impressive numbers, Babayaro insist it isn’t enough to rate him higher than Osimhen.
“ Haaland has always played in teams that are set up to attack unlike Osimhen. His numbers in Belgium for a modest side is quite remarkable. He followed that up with another good return for Lille who weren’t at their level last season.
“ You look from where Osimhen is coming from and compare to Haaland. There isn’t much difference. Both are talented and Osimhen will no doubt be a star in Naples for Napoli. He has conquered the most difficult part of his career while at Wolfsburg “.
