• Napoli star Victor Osimhen has been saluted by Chelsea legend Didier Drogba, who called the Nigerian a complete striker
• Drogba expressed his delight on social media after watching Osimhen giving his teammate the chance to play a penalty

Former Chelsea star Didier Drogba has hailed Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen for his brilliant performances so far this season for Napoli, who are topping the Serie A table.

Osimhen keeps giving Napoli fans cause to celebrate on each matchday with his impressive goalscoring form, even netting a hat-trick in his side's last game against Sassuolo.

The moment that caught the attention of Drogba was when the Ivorian saw Osimhen giving his teammate the chance to play a penalty - instead of playing it himself.

Commenting on a video shared on Twitter, Drogba was impressed with what Osimhen did and saluted the Nigerian as a complete and unselfish striker.

Drogba's remarks about Osimhen

''That’s a complete striker: unselfishness... the real meaning of 'win as A TEAM'.''

Osimhen has now scored six goals in his past four outings across all competitions since his return.

The Nigerian has also become the fifth African to score a hat-trick in Italian Serie A, after Liberia’s George Weah (for AC Milan in 1998), Cameroon’s Patrick Mboma (for Cagliari in 1999), Egypt’s Mohamed Salah (for AS Roma in 2016) and Senegal’s Keita Balde (for Lazio in 2017).

Osimhen offers to help steward

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Ethiopian steward Matteo Lo Cicero explained that Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen immediately offered to help him out, after he was suspended by those in charge at Roma.

Cicero's dream of meeting his idol Osimhen was fulfilled last Sunday after the Italian Serie A game between AS Roma and Napoli, in which the Nigerian scored the winner for his side.

The 18-year-old Ethiopian was working as a matchday steward for Roma and rushed to meet Victor Osimhen after the game, taking selfies with the Nigerian star.

It was Nigerian sports journalist, Oma Akatugba who actually took Cicero to meet Osimhen and they both had friendly conversation.
