Statement made by Ghoulam

“The only thing is that he always had bad injuries and last year (Dres) Mertens had to play in his place without having done any preparation due to shoulder surgery. We were a bit unlucky in this, however, Osimhen is a modern striker.

“He attacks depth very well, has a strong header, holds the ball well. He lacks a bit of coolness, he’s still a bit too instinctive.”
