Luciano Spalletti, Napoli head coach has given an insight into how Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen can become a world-class striker.
Osimhen scored the only goal of the match as Napoli beat AS Roma 1-0 on Sunday.
The Super Eagles striker bagged a goal with 10 minutes left on the clock, getting the better of former Manchester United defender, Chris Smalling before volleying from a tight corner.
The Nigerian has now scored in three consecutive outings and has scored a total of three goals for the season.

Speaking on Osimhen’s form, Spalletti told DAZN, “Osimhen has these sudden change of pace that only he can do. When he gets his emotions sorted out, he will become extraordinary.
“At times he tries to do everything himself, attacks the ball and the goal without realising where his teammates are. But he is physical, he is strong and we need him to complete the squad, also in the air.
“He is one of the best headers of the ball I have ever seen. We didn’t give him as much service last season, but he was also decisive when defending on set plays and resolving a lot of issues for us there.”
