Former Italian football player Beppe Mascara says Victor Osimhen has what it takes to be one of the best strikers in the history of football if he maintains his progress at Napoli.
Osimhen has hit a purple patch lately with five goals in his last seven games leading to talks of the 22 year old delivering on the potential that made Napoli splash €70 million to sign him from Lille.
Mascara who played for Napoli from 2011-2012 has likened the forward to one of his former teammate in Edinson Cavani who is largely seen as one of the best forwards in world football.
He said Cavani who is now at Manchester United use to play with all that he has in his locker, something he sees in Osimhen and that trait might fire him to the top in the nearest future “ I am sure and confident that Osimhen will become one of the strongest strikers around”, he told Radio Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“ I played with Cavani and I must say that he is an extraterrestrial kind of player as he prepares for the whole week in an incredible way. He is really committed just same thing Osimhen is showing”.
