Napoli record signing Victor Osimhen has come under the spotlight ahead of this weekend top of the table clash against Serie A leaders Inter Milan.
Osimhen marked his first start since recovering from a facial injury with a goal against Venezia last weekend to move Napoli to within one point of leaders Inter Milan, who were beaten by city rivals AC Milan same weekend.
Tomorrow’s game holds a whole lot in Napoli’s quest to mount a serious title challenge as a win against Inter Milan will see them go top of the league until at least when AC Milan play on Sunday against Sampdoria.
A win for Milan will see them go back to same points with Napoli but still behind the Naples based side unless they score at least six or more without conceding any in return.
Speaking on the top of the table clash between Napoli and Inter, Italian magazine Corriere del Mezzogiorno says it’s time for Osimhen to show his money worth by proving himself against a top Serie A side. Particularly as he has not had a good game against Inter in his previous three games.
A post on the site read thus:
“He will have to overcome himself because so far against the big teams, in the few occasions he has had, he has had little impact. He scored last season against Lazio and Atalanta, he got a penalty against Juventus but he misses the shot in the big matches, in the days that they count more. Against Inter, Victor suffered both in the draw last season at Estadio Maradona and at San Siro this season. “
