The new football season of 2020/21 has seen top talents priced away from clubs where they impressed beyond expectations. For a soccer lover, the football world has witnessed one of the busiest transfer markets in a decade. It goes against expectations after football took a break and many lost their jobs.
Something that stands out, even more, is top football talents like Victor Osimhen who has become one of the most sought after striker in world football. Osimhen is only 21 years old and stands at 185 centimetres tall. For soccer pundits, using this Canadian betting guide to place bets on the Napoli’s new acquisition sounds like a great pick.
However, picking Victor Osimhen whose major weakness is ground duels and ball control brings pundits into an equation of sorts. Does the young Nigerian international fits the bill as Napoli's new number 9? Well, for soccer fans, Osimhen’s high pressing football is something that will earn him success at Napoli. It is the more reason why bookmakers have him as Napoli's favourite to score many goals. A critical examination of Victor Osimhen reveals interesting stats, and why he could be a perfect fit for Napoli.
A Rising Star with Rising Value in Football World
Since making his first appearance for Nigeria’s national team, Osimhen has continued to impress. His exploits in Europe have been impressive. He first joined Wolfsburg before moving
to Sporting Charleroi on loan. At the end of his short loan spell, Wolfsburg decided to sell the player for £3.5 million to his loan club in the summer of 2017. A year later, Sporting Charleroi sold Osimhen to French side Lille OSC where he impressed, scoring goals at will. He emerged at Lille’s player of the season with 18 goals and 6 assists.
A Record Signing with Strong Prospects
Victor Osinhem stint at Lille only lasted year after joining in Lille for £12. For a player of his age, there is more than Napoli can expect from an energetic forward yearning for more goals. Napoli signing Victor Osinhem for a record fee of £71 million, excluding add-ons may sound too ambitious for a player who had hardly spent more than a year in his former clubs. However, the player’s abilities on the big stage have played a crucial role in his fast-rising football star. Osimhen is currently ranked top among Nigeria’s top football talents such as Alex Iwobi, Odion Ighalo, Kelechi Iheanacho and Wilfred Ndidi.
Big Clubs Expressing Interest
As Osimhen’s fortunes in the football world keep rising, joining a big club like Napoli is only a dream for some African players. Even more importantly, top English teams such as Chelsea and Liverpool that have shown interest in acquiring the player’s signature are clear signs of good things to come. After first training at Napoli, head coach Gattuso expects lots of goals from the Nigeria international. A strong striker is ideal for Napoli system of play, albeit, poor ball control could prove a challenge for the striker whose profile keeps attracting big clubs.
