Osimhen’s Could Become Even More Deadly Than City’s Haaland

Victor Osimhen Could Even Be Better Than Erling Haaland

The former Lille star scored twice and also provided an assist in arguably his best ever performance for Napoli.

“Osimhen is such a great striker. I am stunned by the potential he has and excited to see what he’ll do in the future,” There were these two or three balls down the touchline, and he has the pace, the skill, the courage and physicality to deal with those situations. After all, he smashed his face a couple of times because he goes for every ball. He still has remarkable room for improvement.”

… Victor Osimhen become even better than Erling Haaland

Sure, Haaland is arguably the deadliest frontman in world football currently with over 30 goals in all competitions for club and country this season, but Osimhen has the potential to be even deadlier than the Manchester City man.
Victor Osimhen is one of the most complete young strikers in the World, and he isn’t shy to show what he can do on the pitch.

His two goals against Juventus were both headers; that shows how dominant he is in the air. Osimhen however, is not limited to only the “target-man” type of goals. He can come deep, receive the ball, power through and get a goal for his team when he needs to.

Luciano Spalletti understands that Osimhen can still improve in various aspects of his game, and he isn’t quite the finisher that Haaland is just yet, but he is not far off that level either.
