Height, speed, coordination; Galatasaray assistant coach Ismael Gomez says finding all three in one player is nearly impossible. Victor Osimhen, in his view, is that rare exception.
Gomez drew a direct comparison to former club talisman Mauro Icardi when outlining his hopes for the Nigerian striker’s role at the club, telling Marca:
Last season, Icardi dominated the league not only with the number of goals he scored but also with the assists. This is what we want from Osimhen, to dominate the matches and the league like Icardi. He attracts the attention of the entire opponent’s defence line.
He added:
It is not easy to find a player who combines his height, speed and coordination level.
The numbers, Softfootball reports, back up the praise; eight goals in nine appearances across all competitions since arriving on loan from Napoli, output that has already made Osimhen one of the Turkish Super Lig’s most feared attackers.
