DAN OWEN FROM HITC
According to three-time Russian Premier League winner Slutsky, that is one major reason why Osimhen is a ‘higher-level, long-term player’; Napoli’s Scudetto-chasing hitman possessing a more varied, rounded skillset.
“It is difficult to say who will score more. The leagues are different,” says the one-time Hull City, CSKA Moscow and Russia coach. “In England, it’s probably harder to score in general than in Italy. But Manchester City may be easier to score for than Napoli.
“Osimhen, it seems to me, has a cleaner game. For me, in terms of a set of qualities, he surpasses Haaland.”
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Arsenal remain in hot pursuit of Osimhen. That is despite Eddie Nketiah’s impressive form in the absence of Gabriel Jesus. Saudi-backed Newcastle United are big fans of the rangy Nigeria international too, though Napoli are likely to demand a sizeable profit on the £50 million fee they paid Ligue 1 outfit Lille during the summer of 2020.
