Belgian striker Romelu Lukaku has hailed Nigerian international Victor Osimhen, ahead of the epic Inter Milan versus Napoli showdown.

Both sides will clash at the San Siro Stadium on Wednesday, January 4, with much at stake for both in-form teams.

Lukaku has not been at his best for the Nerazzurri, but he has lauded Nigerian star Osimhen for his fine run of form for Napoli.

The 24-year-old Nigerian has already scored nine Serie A goals this season, and Lukaku believes the former Lille of France man is the best striker right now.

Lukaku commended Luciano Spalletti on doing a great job, as per Soccernet:

"[Napoli] have really strong players, I’ve been out and seen many of their games. Napoli are in a good moment. Osimhen scores many goals, Zielinski as well, Kvara on the left, Lozano or Politano on the right."

Belgium’s number 9 has singled out the former Lille star as a strong striker and the best in Serie A at the moment, ahead of Inter’s clash with the Parthenopeans.

"Osimhen is really strong. Now he’s the best striker. We have to be honest. He’s strong and he’s doing really well for Napoli. They are first in the standings. We have respect, but not fear.”
