Giovanni Di Lorenzo, Napoli’s right-back, praised Victor Osimhen while answering questions from fans at the Dimaro-Folgarida congress centre.
The Serie A Young Player of The Year still had room for improvement, the 28-year-old said when asked about the strength of the Nigerian striker.
“How strong is Osimhen? He is very strong, for me, he still has ample room for improvement. We hope that he will score many goals next year. The morale in the locker room after all these transfers? There is enthusiasm to restart, after two years we are back in the Champions League and we are proud.
“We have to face this season trying to improve and grow. We are ready and energized to start again.”
Osimhen, 23, has been linked with a transfer away from Napoli, with the Partenopei placing a €100 million price tag on the Nigerian international.
Bayern Munich, Manchester United, and Arsenal are all keeping an eye on the forward who led Napoli with 18 goals and six assists in the previous campaign.
In a June 2023 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying match against Sao Tome, Osimhen recently scored four goals.
