Eagles Coach, Rohr Backs Osimhen To Shine At Napoli

Super Eagles coach, Gernot Rohr, has thrown his weight behind Lille striker Victor Osimhen to shine if he finally pens the transfer deal with the Italian giants Napoli.

The Franco-German tactician made this statement in an interview with Napoli Magazine.

According to Punch.ng, Rohr said he had earlier advised the Nigerian forward to move to a club where he would get regular playing time and develop his game.

Osimhen, who recently won the Marc Vivien Foe award for the best African footballer in Ligue 1, has been on the radar of top European sides after his sterling performance for Lille in the cancelled Ligue 1 season.

“Of course, we are talking about a scorer, a player of power and speed. He is a fighter, he never accepts defeat, he always wants to win, even in training matches,” Rohr stated.

“Often, in our chats, I advise him to take an important step and go to a club where he can find the right space to play continuously and grow. He is a guy who loves to work hard and who needs to be in constant competition.

“Victor is someone who always wants to grow and improve, technically and tactically. Then he is a smart, intelligent boy and I repeat: has everything it takes to get to Didier Drogba’s level.
