‘Napoli are seeing the real Osimhen’ – Super Eagles star earns praise from ex-Inter Milan star Cauet

Former Inter Milan and Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Benoit Cauet said Victor Osimhen has started showing his potential at Napoli after he scored his fifth Serie A goal on Sunday.

The 22-year-old secured the visitors' 2-0 win over Sampdoria with his 87th-minute strike after Fabian Ruiz opened the scoring in the 35th minute.

The strike was Osimhen's fifth goal after 999 minutes of football in his debut Serie A campaign.
