Mihajlovic said during his interaction with the media on Wednesday via Independent NG:

“He shifts the balance even more than Lukaku. He seems like he has an engine. He’s ‘ignorant’, but in the good sense of the word. He runs, opens the game, restarts, scores.

“He’s really strong, but I didn’t expect this much. It’s also true that they paid €70m for him.”

Ex-director applauds Victor Osimhen
