Napoli head coach Juliano Spalletti has described Nigerian Victor Osimhen as an excellent striker following Nigerian’s impressive performance in the UEFA Champions League success on Wednesday.
Napoli defeated Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 in the second leg of Round of 16 with Osimhen scoring two of the goals helping the Nerazzurri to qualify for their first ever UCL quarterfinals.
His latest brace saw the former Lille striker hit 23 goals in 28 games across all competitions this season.
Following his latest stride, the Italian side manager tasked the 24-year-old to be more of a team player.
“He is an excellent striker who can be a bit of a soloist and makes these sudden surges, but he also has to combine with the rest of the team,” Spalletti told media.
“He is starting to do that now and we are very happy.”
The runaway Serie A leaders will know their opponents for the quarterfinals at the draw on Friday.
