Coach of Italian Serie A side Napoli Luciano Spalletti says the club record signing Victor Osimhen reminds him of two players who set the Italian league on fire during their prime.
Osimhen is enjoying a fine start to this season after struggling for much of last season with nine goals in 13 games in all competitions. Five of the goals came in the league where he scored ten goals last season.
His form has played a huge role in Napoli staying top of the Serie A on goal difference ahead of AC Milan after 12 rounds of games in the league. A lot of positive things have been said about his impact so far.
Spalletti who trains the forward almost on a daily basis says Osimhen can reach the level of Marco Van Basten and George Weah who were once upon a time donning the colours of AC Milan.
He says Osimhen has similar qualities with Weah but not at same technical level. He see him as having more of the same stuff like Van Basten.
“He is similar to Weah, probably not as strong technically, but with the same quality. He also reminds me of Van Basten. Osimhen is young and he can reach those levels,” Spalletti was quoted by Football Italia.
