Victor Osimhen: Former Italy Forward Feels Napoli Won’t Find Another Striker Like Super Eagle's Star

• Victor Osimhen has attracted interest from other clubs thanks to his performances for Napoli
• Giuseppe Galderisi doesn't think Napoli can find another striker like the Super Eagles' attacker
• Chelsea are said to be interested in securing the services of the 25-year-old Nigerian forward

Should Napoli allow Victor Osimhen to leave this summer?

The Nigerian striker has been super impressive for the club since joining in 2020 and is one of the reasons why they won the Serie A title.

Naturally, his impressive performances have caught the eye of many teams, and Osimhen has been linked with a move away from the Serie A.

With a departure seeming increasingly likely, former Italian striker, Giuseppe Galderisi, has weighed in on the matter, saying that the club will struggle to replace him, Complete Sport reported.

“He always makes the right move. He has characteristics that I don’t see around Europe. He commands respect in the penalty area,” Galderisi said.

With Chelsea and Arsenal among the favourites to sign the Nigerian striker, Napoli would have their hands full trying to find a replacement, according to Galderisi.

Osimhen’s stats since joining Napoli

The 25-year-old made the move to the Italian side from LOSC Lille in Ligue 1, and hit the ground running.

As noted by Transfermarkt, he has already netted 76 goals in just 131 games for the side.

This season, he has already scored 17 goals in all competitions. However, this doesn’t compare to the highs of last season, when the Super Eagles striker netted 31 goals in 39 appearances.
