Former Italy striker, Luca Toni has tipped Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen to be Napoli’s goal machine in the Serie A under coach, Luciano Spalletti.
The Nigerian, who had a contrasting first season with Napoli, netted 10 goals in 30 appearances in all competitions despite going through some injury setbacks.
With the new season set to commence, Toni in an interview with Gazzetta Dello Sport, as per Napoli Today, stated that Osimhen has the potential to match the goalscoring feats of the likes of late Diego Maradona and Massimo Maccarone in Napoli colours.

“I expect a lot from Osimhen; he has great potential: when he’s missing, it’s a different Napoli.
“He has power, speed, breaks defences. Spalletti will be able to make him perform at his best.”

Osimhen is the Rashidi Yekini of this generation, i wish you injuring free this new season keep working hard and always focus Victor Osimhen, more grace to your elbow.
He was always going to Super Eagles No1 striker. Victor’s uncanny ability to peel off defenders and to run into space via the blind side of the defender and to receive the ball in a good goal scoring position, as typified by his unique play is his biggest point. He’s scored goaaaals! All this despite battling with injury and coronavirus. His score against Bologna in March was not just exceptional but his team mates talking.
He is a good player anyday. Flexible and agile like former player Kanu
