Spalletti said via Sun News:

“Osimhen is a player who has these sudden surges and spurts, but he needs to every now and then also figure out how to pass it and work with his teammates.”

“He was a little tired today, but still created chances, caused issues, and when Atalanta pushed their wingbacks higher with the strikers wide, he was alone in midfield and in those situations [he] can do more than he did tonight.”

The former Lille of France forward has been in excellent form of late, scoring seven goals in his last six appearances for Napoli.
