The impressive performance of Nigeria's Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen in the colour of LOSC Lille in the French Ligue one continues to receive attention worldwide.

The youngster moved to France this summer from the Belgian Jupiler league side Sporting Charleroi after his amazing goal scoring record with the club.

UK based coach and agent Craig Moniz has reaffirmed the value Osimhen will add to the Emirate Based team.

Following a record-breaking goal-scoring performance at the FIFA U17 World Cup; Barcelona and Arsenal both offered him positions at their clubs. He instead chose to go to Wolfsburg in Germany however as he wanted to regularly be involved in first-team football. Landing in Lille last summer he has bursted into mainstream attention,
.

 "Similarly to Aubameyang, he’s able to create space for himself and intelligently get himself in goal scoring spaces. Calculated and clever, he is at home when he’s inside the box." Craig Moniz stated.

“Commonly benefiting from players out wide making chances; whether if the opposing defence is settled in shape or transitioning he’s just as effective.

He continued: “Osimhen has scored seven  goals and assisted two in 11 starts for Lille this season.  What makes him so prolific as a goal scorer is his off the ball movement," he concluded.
