With a new adventure to begin at Napoli, Gattuso is adamant the former VFL Wolfsburg of Germany striker will make his team a formidable force domestically and in Europe.
“Osimhen? He can make us more vertical, when others come to take us high in pressure we can immediately go ahead and play 3 against 3. He will give us different solutions, attack spaces well, have physical strength, will give us a great hand,” Gattuso told reporters at Napoli’s training base in Castel di Sangro on Tuesday.
Osimhen trained with new team-mates for the first time on Monday afternoon.
