“Playing under Steven Gerrard was amazing.

“He was a big factor in me joining because I felt wanted. He’d banter with me, he was just really good to me.

“Even off the field, if I was off-form, or I didn’t see myself on the training ground, he would notice it and pull me to his office and speak to me.''

Osimhen Drops Big Update on His Future at Napoli After Being Ordered to Leave Training

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen confirmed that he is not ready to leave Italian side Napoli this summer despite being linked with a move to the Premier League.

During an open 11v11 training exercise, Leo Ostigard, who was picked in Osimhen’s team, was at the end of a hard tackle by Andre-Frank Zambo Anguissa.

This led to the Nigerian striker protesting and demanding a foul call in a very aggressive manner which made Spalletti livid and ordered him to leave the pitch.

Victor Osimhen left the pitch and there is no report if he would be punished by the coach for what he did at training.
