Former Watford striker Troy Deeney has rated Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen as one of the top five strikers in the world at the moment.
Deeney made this known on the backdrop of the Nigerian international’s impressive goal-scoring form, where he scored a goal against Juventus to help Galatasaray secure a place in the Round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League.
In a chat with the CBS Sports Golazo show, the former Birmingham star stated that Osimhen is technically and physically gifted.

“Every league would want him; he’s physical, he’s strong and rough around the edges. Don’t get me wrong, he doesn’t look the silkiest, he’s not the Harry Kane type of striker.
“When you watch him, technically, he’s very good. He’ll bash you about, he can link the play, run in behind, and he scores goals, which is the most important.
“A lot of why he hasn’t moved on has been financial, a value that he places on himself that he wants, and clubs aren’t prepared to meet that.
“I think when you start to look at him, the value is always going to be high, and if you look at him, only one or two players in Europe are better than him in every department,” the Englishman concluded

See someone’s shattered jaws all over the floor…… LMAOoo.
If the above statements are truly from Troy Deeney, the most critical of all analysts, then this case is settled…. LMAaooo
A tortoise can never understand the perspective of a giraffe. Same way riffraffs are not built and raised to recognize greatness.
Osimhen is not good, Osimhen is not great, yet for you he’s always comparable to Halaand and Mbappe……. LMAOOoo….is it until a prophet falls from the sky to tell you you are a lunatic before you accept you are…..??!
Praise is nice, but it’s especially important when it comes from a fellow professional.
That’s why peer reviews are so highly valued across professions.
It’s praise from someone who is not just talking the talk, but has walked the walk.
Someone like Deeney, a former premier league level striker. And when a legend like Del Pierro who has won everything in the game and is a total icon for Juve and Italy, when someone like that praises you, then case closed. You are good!
“Only one or two players in Europe are better than him in every department”
This statement speaks volumes of VO9 in round leather game. Give him standing ovation,pls.
The question you will ask yourself is all these names you mentioned has there been any interview conducted with them and the media. Do you even see those names appearing in any interview with media in the world. Even when you saw them in the stadium, they just watch matches and leave.
So my brother if you are waiting to see them comment about Osimhen, you go wait tire and the Kingdom of God will pass you bye. For them already know the potential in Osimhen. Know these things and save yourself of HBP dear brother
Hehehehe…if all these encomiums is coming from world class ex players, great achievers with massive silverwear in their trophy cabinet like their ibrahimovic, david beckham, xavi, iniesta, R9, etc then I will understand the reason for the fire works been thrown all around the forum…lol
But not from the most below average player of all time(troy Deeney) who’s only biggest club that he ever played for was a mushroom watford club and his biggest achievements ever in his almost two decades of football career is; football League/EFL Championship second-place promotion: 2014–15,
FA Cup runner-up: 2018–19
Individual and finally PFA Team of the Year: 2014–15 Championship…. And thats all…..lmao….
Okay how about Thierry Henry—World Cup winner, Champions League winner, and 4-time Premier League Golden Boot winner— and all the other legends who have praised Osimhen highly? What do you say about them? Are they lying? What about your own goddamn eyes? Lol. You’re a hater.
Leave that thing alone. It is completely senseless….the less said the better….. LMAOoo
Theirry Henry, Alessandro Del Piero, Didier Drogba, Gianfranco Zola, Antonio Careca, Zlatan Ibrahimovic…..yes…the same one, Diego Someone, Pep Guardiola, Gary Lineker (this one even had to switch on ring light in the middle of the night to praise Osimhen), Glen Hoddle…….I can go on and on…..all these people are not great achievers….. LMAOOooo
When you live in a pit latrine and have limited access to what is going on around the world why won’t you come online to constantly disgrace yourself on a daily basis…… LMAOOoo.
It the same dog who was so pained last week he came here crying that legends are praising Osimhen on live TV shows just because they were lamenting how their former clubs missed out on such a great striker…… LMAOOoo.
Even if all these started as mere jokes, it has turn to a full blown show of stupidity for him with no way out anymore….. LMAOOoo….that is why the street dog continues to contradict and shoot itself in the foot every passing week
And did you hear henry come out to say he is one of top five?
No henry is too intelligent and knows the game better to come out in public and speak that way…
Mention him when mentioning their haaland. compare his style to drogba thats not a problem…but coming out to categorically state that he is top five in an industry where you have very good and elite finishers like their mbappe,(henry compatriot) lewy, kane, haaland, goukores,(trying to win arsenal the title for over 20 something years…martinez etc…I could go on and on…its a no! Its like blasphemy in football…
Una know wetin be top five so??? In an industry where you have more deadly finishers in top five leagues…smh…
“….Placing the Super Eagles striker in the company of the world’s most lethal finishers, Henry told SportTalk, “Barcelona need a real number 9. A top-level striker. I am referring to formidable scorers such as Victor Osimhen, Erling Haaland or Harry Kane. Proven finishers, not prospects…..”
Pain has made you forget how you were foaming in the mouth last here last week when Theirry Henry compared Osimhen to Halland and Kane as a prover finisher and not a prospect……??? LMAOOOO.
Don’t worry ehn…..you go cry taya for this group….. LMAOOO
I will make sure Osimhen knows no peace…… LMAOOO….now summer salting around in distress pro max….. LMAOOO
See the way he is running from pillar to post trying to bite the whole universe…… LMAOOO
Osihmen Mosimen. Osihmen Zigi Zaga. Osihmen Zaga Zigi. Deeney says it all. Osihmen is the best, forget the rest.
Heaven bless Osihmen and all deserved Super Eagles stubborn strikers praised by average ex-strikers.
Lol…who is this person behind this handle? Like seriously you are funny…but you are right tho….praised by average ex strikers….hahahahaha
