Napoli shot stopper David Ospina says the quality of Nigerian forward Victor Osimhen is one which most teams need in their attack.
Ospina was speaking on the backdrop of Osimhen’s debut when the 21 year old proved himself as a super substitute as his introduction played a big role in the both goals scored by Napoli in the 2-0 win over Parma.
Already teammates like Dries Mertens, Hirving Lozano and even coach Gennaro Gattuso have all saluted the impact of the big money buy from Lille. Ospina has also lend his voice on the qualities of the former Wolfsburg forward.
“Osimhen? He’s a very quiet boy. We know he can give us a lot. He has great speed, great power and it’s important for us to have a player like him. Manolas and Koulibaly? Having strong defenders is important. We work hard to keep clean sheets”, he said.
Italian Football TV picked Osimhen in their team of the week after the first round of games in Italy with Zlatan Ibrahimovic of Sweden voted as his pair in attack. All eyes will be on the forward when Napoli play their second Serie A game against Genoa on Sunday.
