Matteo Bonetti backs Victor Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Matteo Bonetti, who is an Italian football pundit, backed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen to do well this season for Napoli in all competitions, claiming he has been impressed with his games.

Osimhen is the man of the moment, as his goal gave coach Luciano Spalletti and his wards a 1-0 win over Roma in their last league game.

Some are even of the opinion that Osimhen is currently better than Haaland, Robert Lewandowski and even Karim Benzema, who recently won the Ballon d'Or.
