Osimhen: Why I want to repay Gattuso at Napoli

Victor Osimhen is eager to pay back the belief shown in him by Napoli coach Gennaro Gattuso since he arrived from Lille on a big money deal in the summer.

The 21-year-old has played in every of Napoli's Serie A matches this campaign and he has two goals to his name already.

He broke his duck in the Italian top-flight against Atalanta in October and he scored the match-winning goal which gave Napoli a 1-0 win on the road at Bologna just before the international break.
