FootballSpeaking after his side's loss to the Partenopei at the Stadio Maradona, Mourinho compared the Nigerian international to Chelsea legend Didier Drogba.
Mourinho said via Football Italia:
“He is of the same level as Drogba, but Didier didn’t dive.
“If Victor changes, then OK. I’d buy him if I was at a club with a lot of money.
"However, if he does go to England one day, he needs to change, because in Italy they put up with this sort of behaviour, whereas in the Premier League, they’d come down hard, on him.”
The Special One also spoke to Osimhen after the match.
“I told him that he scored a wonderful goal and needs to stop diving so much. His goal was fantastic, he did the same thing when we met earlier this season, so he’s a fantastic player. But he mustn’t dive.”
