Netherlands defender, Sam Beukema has sent a warning messages to Nigerian striker, Victor Osimhen to prepare for tough duels when Bologna host Napoli in the Italian Serie A clash on Sunday.

The Super Eagles forward has been unable to find the back of the net in the last three matches for Napoli in all competitions and he will be hoping to put an end to the barren form when the Partenopei visits Bologna on Sunday.

However, Dutch star Beukema is talking tough on how he’s planning to shut him out in the match.

“‘Osimhen is one of the best strikers in the league and I think also one of the best strikers in Europe, in this modern football,” he told media.

“It will be a good challenge for me and also for Lucumi. But I think it will be a difficult day for him too. At least, I hope. He’s like I do with the other attackers: how they move, what they do.”

Osimhen will be banking on his individual positive history against Bologna haven scored three goals in the last two meetings against their against their Sunday opponent.
