Head coach of Napoli Luciano Spalletti has explained the strengths and weaknesses of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen after his run of three goals in his last two games.
Osimhen moved from the criticism over his poor performance against Juventus to grabbing a brace against Leicester City in the Europa League before netting again in the 4-0 win over Udinese in the Serie A.
Spalletti who took over as coach of Napoli in the summer tipped the Nigerian who is the club record buy to surpass his last season tally of ten goals in the Italian Serie A this season.
However for that to happen, the coach hint at some obvious flaws in the game of the 23 year old forward who is the first choice striker for the senior national team of Nigeria.
“We have quality in attack. Osimhen is really strong, he lacks quality in tight spaces, but he’s hard to catch in open spaces. The wingers are outstanding in one vs one situations”, he was quoted as saying by Football Italia.
