FORMER Nigerian player, Felix Owolabi, has given his verdict on Nigeria forward and Napoli striker, Victor Osimhen, after being listed in the squad for the Super Eagles friendly games.
In an interview with a news outlet, he said:
“I think as at today, Osimhen is the best thing we can talk about, as far as Nigerian football is concerned. And if I were the coach of the National Team, I would build my team around that boy."
He also said: “I want to say that this boy is something else. He is a very fantastic player and I advise the handlers of the National Team to devise a means of making the best use of him.
“There are times when a coach will have such a unique player and will be confused about how best to use him. Not every coach knows how to use such a player.”
Osimhen who moved from French side, Lilie (after being named the club's Player of the Season) to Italian side Napoli for a record €80m, has only made nine appearances since his debut in 2017 for the Super Eagles.
