“I like Drogba, but not just as a footballer,” Osimhen claimed.
“I like leaders and he was it on and off the pitch, where it counts the most. He has a personality that I admire.”
On his best Italian striker, the Super Eagles star named Ciro Immobile“I think he is extraordinary.
“He always squeezes past defenders. He is always in the right place at the right time. You may not see him, but he is always there and makes everything look so easy, especially scoring goals.”
And on the toughest defender he’s ever faced:“[Cristian] Romero, who is now at Tottenham. He was always faster than me every time we faced each other. The other one is Kalidou Koulibaly, he never let me score in training. When Nigeria were eliminated from the Africa Cup of Nations, I supported Senegal.”
