  • Nigerian coach Biffo who qualified Kwara United for Continental games last season says Osimhen is more dangerous than Haaland
  • This season in the Premier League, Haaland has netted 25 goals, while Osimhen has pumped in 16 for Napoli

Former Kwara United gaffer Abdullahi Biffo has disclosed exclusively to Sports Brief that he will always prefer to have Victor Osimhen start in his team ahead of Erling Haaland.

Osimhen and Haaland have been in stunning forms this season for their clubs as these two players keep firing the goals giving their fans happiness.

What of Victor Osimhen?

Super Eagles striker Osimhen is also not taking it easy this season in the Serie A as the Nigerian has scored 16 goals for Napoli. His club are also topping the standings.

Biffo who is currently in the United States explained that Osimhen is playing in a difficult League compared to Haaland.

Statement made by Biffo

''Osimhen is playing in a difficult League in which he will have to struggle many times to score using individual effort. Haaland has many midfielders working for him at Man City even though he has also scored some goals without the help of any teammate.
''To be honest and not because I am a Nigerian, Osimhen is better than Haaland.''

Troost Ekong spotted With Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles assistant captain William Troost-Ekong was spotted in Naples, where he visited his fellow international teammate Victor Osimhen.

Ekong is also based in Italy, as the defender is currently on loan to Serie A outfit Salernitana from English club Watford.

Osimhen has continued to score incredible goals in the Serie A, taking his tally to 16 in 17 matches so far this season.

However, Ekong, who signed for Salernitana in January 2023, has only featured in one match since moving to Italy.
