Fikayo Tomori has identified fellow Nigeria internationals Victor Osimhen and Ademola Lookman as two of the most difficult attackers he has faced in his career, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The AC Milan centre-back made the remark while reflecting on some of the toughest forwards he has come up against in top-level football.

According to Tomori, Osimhen’s relentless energy and physical presence make him a nightmare for defenders to handle.

“Osimhen is a force of nature; he never stops running,” Tomori said.

The defender also praised Lookman for his pace and ability on the ball, admitting that the Atalanta winger is equally difficult to contain.

“Lookman is also incredibly difficult to mark. He’s very quick and moves the ball with impressive speed,” he added.

Tomori further revealed that he once jokingly told Lookman that their friendship would be affected if the winger had joined city rivals Inter Milan.

“I even joked with him that if he had joined Inter, we wouldn't be friends anymore,” he said.

Both Osimhen and Lookman have been among Nigeria’s standout performers in Europe in recent seasons, consistently troubling defenders with their pace, strength, and attacking quality.
