Osimhen has already shown a glimpse of his potential, as his goals now help Napoli set sights on the Italian Serie A title this season.

Premier League clubs Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United have all been linked with the striker, as well as Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Akpoborie has now suggested the forward can get into the ranks of great strikers, if he can maintain his full fitness.
