Christian Vieri speaks about Osimhen

''If Osimhen feels good in Naples, he’s right to stay, but if he wants to try other stadiums and other shirts, he’s right to go.

“He’s a hard worker, he plays for the team, and it’s important because he connects the game with his teammates.

“You don’t just play long balls with him, and he’s improved a lot in this. Many forwards just score goals, but if you want to be considered top 3, you have to play with your teammates.”
