Coach Spalletti was pleased with his top player’s ability to capitalize on opportunities to extend the team’s unbeaten streak.
Luciano Spalletti’s comment
“Seems to me that he is making progress, he has a lot of margins because his possibilities and his flashes are not accessible to a normal player,” Spalletti said according to Tutto Napoli.
“He was fast and accurate. Then today he didn’t take off his shirt, because he would have wanted to take it off.”
Victor Osimhen so far this season
The 23-year-old has already scored seven goals in eight Serie A appearances this season. He missed four top-tier matches due to a thigh injury suffered on matchday one of the UEFA Champions League versus Liverpool.
Osimhen now leads Serie A in scoring with seven goals and providing an assist. Marko Arnautovic of Bologna has the same number of goals, but from ten games.
Osimhen could be featured when Napoli travels to England to face Liverpool in their final Group A match on Tuesday.
