Akpoborie Eulogises Victor Osimhen

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how former Nigerian international, Jonathan Akpoborie suggested that Victor Osimhen is capable of becoming a deadly striker.

Osimhen has already shown a glimpse of his potential, as his goals now help Napoli set sights on the Italian Serie A title this season.

The 24-year-old has already netted nine league goals this campaign, and quite a number of clubs are already making efforts to lure him away from Naples.

Premier League clubs Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, Arsenal and Newcastle United have all been linked with the striker, as well as Bundesliga giants Bayern Munich.

Akpoborie has now suggested the forward can get into the ranks of great strikers, if he can maintain his full fitness.
