Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen
Super Eagles coach José Peseiro is excited over the scoring form of Victor Osimhen in the Serie A for Napoli.
Osimhen has been in superb form this season netting 13 goals from 18 matches for Napoli to become the leading scorer in the Serie A this season and Peseiro believes the striker still has a lot in his tanks to offer for his club and country.
In an interview with Italy-based Il Mattino, Peseiro said: “Victor Osimhen is incredible, he is never satisfied. Even when he scores and he is decisive”.
The Napoli centre-forward has experienced exponential growth, explains the national team coach, in his search for the “best position in the area. And then he is constantly fighting for second balls”.

He added: “The athletic trainer of the national team is in contact with that of Naples. Elements and data are continuously exchanged to keep up to date.”
Meanwhile, Italian legend Fabio Capello has backed Osimhen’s Napoli to win only their third-ever Scudetto title.
Napoli have the chance to go 16 points clear of the Giallorossi at the top of the table when they face them at the weekend.
Speaking to Radio Kiss Kiss (via Corriere dello Sport), Capello credited Napoli’s rise to coach Luciano Spalletti, urging the club to stay concentrated going into the second half of the season.
“Napoli must remain concentrated, they must not give up. But the team is there and seems to have no problems. The players have now understood what their strength is, great credit also goes to Spalletti.”
“Champions League? Napoli is dangerous for all teams, if they play with humility, they can go on anywhere. Kvara and Osimhen are doing very well but let’s not forget who is behind them, the other players highlight their work.”
Napoli welcome Roma this weekend in their next big test.
