/Napoli defender Amir Rrahmani has lauded the decision of the club to replace Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen with Romelu Lukaku.
Recall that the Nigerian international joined Galatasaray after manager Antinio Conte’s preference for the Belgian international.
Speaking with Sky Italia after Napoli thrashed Cagliari 4-0 at the weekend, Rrahmani stated that Lukaku has a strong physique and plays even under pressure compared to Osimhen.

“Very much. In previous years we had Osimhen, who kept the ball less and looked more for depth.
“With Lukaku instead, we can play even under pressure; he has a strong physique and helps us to go and get the second balls and close the actions.”

We shall see who has dept and also shallow in the coming days. You won yesterday, you thought all is perfect,
We Nigerians knows your conspiracy theories. One of the many reasons OSIMHEM left.
Play with your fellow Europeans. We are coming for you.
I saw how they were passing the ball to lukaku with no stress but OSIMHEM will work his soul out to be supplied ball. That man playing 11 was no longer selfish. He passes to lukaku at will.
Your organised gang up is miraculous ladder for OSIMHEM elevation.
God bless Nigeria, God bless OSIMHEM.
Hahahahaha!! Planned attack orchestrated by their Master ADL (Aurellio Di Laurentiis)all part of their agenda to cripple Osimhen’s image and taint his Folklaw status in Naples, Let us see how long this fake Love affair with Lukaka lasts. THEY WILL ALL BE EXPOSED AS SOON AS NEXT WEEK!
Don’t mind them, Krava don’t didn’t pass the ball to Osihmen is now passing to Lukaku just to prove that they aren’t missing Osihmen but for long will this fake strength last. U cant give what u don’t have.
We will know if this is true when Lukaku fires Napoli to another league title.
Afterall, Kvara is still there, Zambo Anguissa is till there, Di Lorenzo is very much around, Rhamani himself is there, Rapadori, Simeone, Juan, Mario Ruiz, Meret…..they all are still there and they have new quality signings like MacTominay, Bourgiono…. they also have a solid coach in Conte.
So no excuses….all the ingredients are there…Let lukaku fire them to the title with 31 goals in 35 games IACs this season and then we will resume this conversation
Anyone who knows Conte knows he wont last. Conte is a league winner man, not a european competition man. He only last like 2 seasons on a team. Once they start losing then he will go attacking the players, blaming everybody and how they dont spend money because conte wants to spend money. Napoli are fine for now they are leading the table. Conte wanted lukaku, who doesnt know the combo? I mean lukaku aint injury prone like osimhen.
Napoli did osimhen what chelsea did to lukaku. The club comes first before anything. Osimhen crippled his own image onces he disrespected the club. You dont see lookman going around parading how he wants to play in the premier league, even though he came from their. Lookman keeps quiet and goes on about his work
@Chuma, you nail it. Osihmen made the greatest mistake by Voicing his preference for The EPL. What is really special about playing in England? check the stats , how many balloon d or winner have they produced? Messi never played there . He is still regarded as the GOAT. So Osihmen should keep calm and try to bang in enough goals to prove his worth.
This arrant nonsense. Lukaku is known to always mess up when it matters most. Also, the above garbage can only be taken serious when Napoli wins the league title. We dey watch
Over perfect dey worry the replacement..
Just to add to what you have said Rrahmani…
Lukaku is very very strong
Doesn’t dive…
Cool headed, Humble, respectful and disciplined…
Doesn’t smoke shisha
Doesn’t club that much
Doesn’t follow ritualist
Doesn’t follow cross dressers, gays and bisexual
Doesn’t not invite ogun or some Belgium gods to kill his coach and fans….
Hahaha you a comedian!!
loooooooooool, can’t stop laughing.
With all the gangup against Osimhen.
There is one thing that is very sure in life, karma is real and will surely embrace Napoli very soon.
