Osimhen has had a fantastic spell at Napoli over the past two years and has received plenty of praise from current and former stars
Former AC Milan and Napoli striker Massimo Agostini has declared Napoli talisman Victor Osimhen to be better than Roma star Romelu Lukaku and Inter Milan killer Lautaro Martinez reportedSoccernet.ng.
Serie A has some of the best strikers in the world. Star players such as Dušan Vlahovic, Lukaku, Martínez, Arkadiusz Milik and Ciro Immobile are practicing their craft in the top his division.
However, Osimhen stood out last season with 26 goals and helped Napoli win their first Scudetto in 33 years.
As a result, the Nigeria international has attracted interest from some of Europe’s top clubs, including Arsenal, Chelsea, Real Madrid and Bayern Munich. However, Osimhen chose to remain at Napoli.
This season, Osimhen has not yet reached the heights of last season due to injuries and Napoli’s poor form. But every time the supporting cast did their best, Osimhen gave a great performance.
Retired striker Agostini has been impressed with the 24-year-old striker and believes Osimhen is a great asset. For Agostini, the former Lille player is better than Martinez or Lukaku.
“If I had to choose between Osimhen, Lautaro and Lukaku, I would choose Osimhen. He has grown by leaps and bounds and has made great strides. Unfortunately, he has some I have a problem with him, but I choose him.”
In this season’s list of top scorers in Serie A, Osimhen is one goal behind Lukaku and eight goals behind Martinez. He is also likely to miss the African Cup of Nations and will miss several games, making it unlikely that he will win the Capocannonière this season.
