“Osimhen is a striker who has the ability to transform every ball that comes his way into chances,” Spalletti told the club’s website.
“He is a generous player who runs a lot and every now and then this intense race can cause him some mistakes, but he is an important player, complete and we aim a lot on him.”
He scored 10 goals and recorded three assists in league appearances for Napoli last season.

Yesterday was a good game for Osimhen in which he held the ball well and distributed to team mates, in fact he could have scored more and Napoli won by a wider margin if not for the greed exhibited by Ounas and Destro, I’m afraid Napoli might perform worst this season because their players continue to want to shoot by themselves instead of playing to a better positioned player. Insigne the worst culprit is not even in yet and this party greed has started. I don’t feel excited watching Napoli and having Osimhen to deal with this greedy guys.
I think Ounas trys to destory Osimhen’s playing in matches,because I think Arab people like Algerians,Egyptians,Moroccons from.North Africa are spiteful and envious agnaist Nigerians espcially and West Africans generally;so Osimhen should grant him passes in order to grant Osimhen as known chances interchange,this will let Ounas love him(Osimhen),so they can be amazing dual…
Bro calm down
