AS Roma coach Jose Mourinho has acknowledged Victor Osimhen as one of the top strikers in Serie A. In an upcoming Serie A clash between Mourinho’s team and Napoli at the Stadio Olimpico on Saturday night, Osimhen is set to lead the front line for Napoli, while Romelu Lukaku, the Belgian striker, will spearhead Roma’s attack.
Mourinho took time to assess and distinguish between Osimhen and Lukaku, recognizing their strengths. He openly admitted that both players are exceptionally talented and among the finest in their respective positions.
“They are both fantastic forwards. They’re brilliant but different. One drops off and links up with his team-mates,” they told AS Roma official website.
“The other is a more direct player who tries to get in behind. They’re both wonderful players. Serie A should be very pleased to have them both. They are top players who could play in any other league in the world without question.”
Osimhen scored a superb goal in Napoli’s 1-0 win against AS Roma last season.
