Former coach of the senior national team of Italy Arrigo Sacchi says he expects to see some improvement from Nigeria international striker Victor Osimhen after working with Luciano Spalleti for a year.
Napoli will open their Serie A campaign with a game against Verona later today and all eyes will be on the Nigerian, who still remains the club’s record signing to show his worth in what will be his third season at the club.
The 23 year old finished last season with 14 goals and 5 assists despite missing almost three months due to a cheek bone injury. The figure is four more than his tally of ten goals in his first season at the club.
Sacchi said there are some areas in his game which still need improvement despite his impressive return and after working a year with Spalleti, he expects him to show improvements not just on the technical side but also on his behavior.
“I am very curious to see Osimhen at work. He has enormous potential, in my opinion not yet all expressed. A year of Spalletti’s lessons, both on a technical and behavioral level, should have served him to improve and get closer to to be that leader that Napoli needs “, he said.
