The agent of Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen has hit back at those who questioned the heavy investment Napoli made in signing him from Ligue 1 side Lille.
Speaking on the back of his recent run of games which has seen him score five goals in his last four games to take his season tally to ten, the agent said he is more at home than he was when he first arrived in the summer.
He said the excellent atmosphere in the dressing room has also played a huge role , same as coach Gennaro Gattuso and of course his not paying attention to critics when he wasn’t scoring.
In an interview with Radio Kiss Kiss , he said Osimhen’s aim is to help Napoli to three more wins in order to qualify for the UEFA Champions League. A tournament he wants to dearly play in next season.
“Victor is happy about yesterday’s victory, he feels more and more at ease in this team and when you score a goal it gets easier. He is proud to wear the Napoli shirt and is keen to thank the club for their patience.”
“He is scoring like a machine because he enjoys having everyone’s trust and because of the excellent atmosphere in the locker room, which is helping him a lot. The negative judgments? We never gave them weight, we never listened to them.
“If a player is paid so much it is natural that the city expects the best performances straight away. Gattuso? The relationship with the coach is perfect, Rino is an excellent coach. Have we heard from Galtier about next year? I don’t know (laughs).
Maybe the coach has sent him a message to compliment him, but not to talk about next season’s Napoli. Victor’s goal is to win the last 3 games because he wants to play in the UEFA Champions League with Napoli.
Favourite system? The important thing is that he feels comfortable”, he concluded.
