Victor Osimhen he is the top scorer in Serie A. He is in his third season at Napoli and this year he seems to have taken a big leap in quality. Not only in terms of goals, he is a team man and his weight is felt on and off the pitch. He wants to rock the world, he wants to make up for lost time, also because of injuries. He is preparing for his return to Serie A with great confidence and hopes to still be decisive. The Nigerian is a purebred striker, who in a long interview revealed the name of his mentor, a rather surprising name.

Born in December 1998, as Mbappe, Osimhen has what it takes to become one of the strongest strikers of his generation. The road ahead is very long, with Spalletti on the bench he certainly has possibilities to improve. 9 goals in 11 games in Serie A 2022-2023, 33 in 62 league games in two and a half years, not bad. He practically scores a goal every two games.

Osimhen dreams big, looks up, to the top and, like a football player today, tries to improve. The large contemporary bomber jackets are basically Benzema and Lewandowski, there is also CR7 who, however, does not have the same role as Napoli’s 9. But in an interview with ‘Il Mattino’, the striker mentioned the name of an attacker with an excellent curriculum who, however, did not leave much memory in Italy, which is Mario Gomez.

The former Bayern Munich and Fiorentina striker was Osimhen’s teammate at Wolfsburg, and Gomez was very important for the Nigerian who received a lot of advice from the Spanish striker who ‘adopted’ the Nigerian at the time little more than an adult: 🇧🇷I often think of Gomez. It wasn’t easy in Wolfsburg, not just because of the weather. It was the first experience away from home, practically in another world. Mario was the only one who stopped by after every workout to give me suggestions, to tell me the mistakes not to make. He gave me confidence, a great champion who was dedicated to giving suggestions🇧🇷 I thought to myself, if a champion like him wastes time with me, it means he sees potential in it. His teachings helped me change my career.”
