Head coach of Napoli Luciano Spalleti says Nigeria international forward Victor Osimhen has so much potential to be the best striker in the world if he works on one area of his game.
Osimhen scored his 9th goals of the season in 19 games in what has been an injury hit season. His brace yesterday against Verona helped Napoli to a 2-1 win and also keep them in touch with the leaders AC Milan in the race for the scudetto.
Spalleti was pleased to see his big money man score a brace after a week of criticism following his not too impressive performance against AC Milan last weekend, which further increase talks about his not too good performance in big games.
“Osimhen still doesn’t realise the distance from his marker, sometimes he runs towards the ball and has the time and space to control, pick his spot. He doesn’t need to rush”, Spalleti said after the win against Verona.
“He can start a run from midfield, take on four or five defenders by himself with that pace, so he has such potential”, he concluded.
