Napoli coach Luciano Spalletti has compared Victor Osimhen’s quality to former AC Milan and Paris Saint Germain striker George Weah.
Spalletti believes the Super Eagles striker is as good as Weah who is still the only African to have won the Ballon d’Or (in 1995).
Osimhen has scored nine goals in 12 matches across all competitions in this campaign and his blistering form has helped Napoli rise to the summit of the Serie A table.
The former Lille star who moved to Naples in August 2020, was also likened to Netherlands and AC Milan legend Marco van Basten but his Italian coach was able to point out a difference between him and Liberia legend Weah who is also the President of the West African nation.
