He has improved in leaps and bounds over the past few months but a lot has to do with the team he is surrounded with and the gaffer he plays for.... unfortunately which the clubs that want him just do not have.

No other team in Europe plays the game like Napoli does.... a silky smooth and well oiled machine....an absolute joy to watch week in, week out.

Am NT surprised....have seen him since his debuted at the under 17 years ago... Osimhen is good but that's NT wat makes him special... according to my analysis wat makes him special is his "INTENSITY" of play...his naturally a striker but he possess some level of tenacity u won't see from most no9...the wat he presses the ball is crazy...the way he charges and wants to win every ball ...the way he drives the ball..the way he uses his physicality ...this guy will play 90minutes and will look like he can still do another 90...during his time at Lille he was like that too. .

To me technically Halland seen a little better especially with the ball at his feet but talking of how much one imposes himself on a game....Victors is one of the best have ever seen

Because you don't watch Serie A matches.

Don't even compare Osimhen to Haaland that does only tap ins and only scores against small clubs.
quite there. Better than Haaland for where. Make una no use overhyped kill this guy career. He is currently top 4 at best. Haaland, Mpabbe and Lewandowski are ahead of him.

I respect and laud ur view but i will disagree a little ...the team they have in Napoli is good but there output this season can't be close to where they are without the strength of OSIMHEN...his the proper definition of a no9 and NT even the orthodox type ..he still drops into many spaces ...the language is the team got a way of playing around and to his strength....will he outscore Halland if he plays in a team like city....yes he will...why...?...cos he just has this crazy hunger wen upfront....is city having a better squad than Napoli...yes...even NT some miles ..so i tink it's more about a squad that works together and play to his strength rather than a squad blessed with quality

He needs to do one more season at Napoli. I like what he is doing there. Every Italian defender knows his name with great fear & trembling.

No, he doesn’t need to. This is his best time to move. Staying one more season would be a gamble. Let him use his best time to get the best deal.

With a good support cast and good coach..

The SE presently does not have the kind of midfield that will support the quality of his play AT THE MOMENT. Even Napoli had to adjust the team and tactics over the past two seasons to suit his style of play. Osimen is not a ball, holder, just a pure striker so he needs ball holders behind and on the flanks.

There is not a single player in the present SE team that can hold the ball for more than 10 seconds or move it more that 30 yards at pace without losing it, even the more cultured players such as Iwobi, whereas Napoli has them in numbers.

So are you saying Osimen creates and scores for himself such that the team around his is irrelevant.
My man, Napoli plays Cremonense this evening, pls watch.
The team Napoli is built to get the best out of him.
Once they understood his play they made wholesale changes to their forward line with older, established players leaving.
Napoli is a solid team, there are no individual superstars and lone rangers there.

As for whether he will outscore Haaland has to do with Pep's tactics.
Pep has never been big on traditional number 9's since his Barca days and Osimen will not get the kind of consistent service he enjoys at Napoli. Pep will not build the team around him (to serve him). Pep does not build teams around players.

As for other Premiership teams, Liverpool, United and Tottenham both have weak attacking midfields presently, Chelsea is still a project in the making while Arsenal's play is far too slow for the kind of open game Osimen needs to prosper. His best bet will be Spain, either Real or Barca and both are in dire need of replacement No. 9's

....They call them the la pausa ensique kinda players...players than can play short passes around the pitch well ..players that can keep the ball in tight positions...players that can do the triangle pasees all over the pitch ...players than can switch positions and give fast incisive passes ...they have few in the team and also there wingers has the "la pausa " trait too... Zieniliski...lobokta ...anguissa also has this little traits...those players are the ideas combination...there midfield interchange frees kwaratvesheila and poilitano on the wings to feed osimhen..we don't have such quality in midfield in the super eagles

Nigeria has young talents that can win dem cups, imagine a squad with osimhen, madueke, oliseh, chukwuemeka, musiala, etc.

We need to do away with a lot of current squad like iheanacho,Musa and co, they are getting old,
Re: Victor Osimhen Is World's Best No. 9 by Basicend: 11:21am On Feb 12, 2023
I am very unbiased and unsentimental.

But, Osimhen is no 1 striker in the world right now. Clearly so.

Haarlan is probably 2nd due to city's issues and struggles. Moreso, his style of play doesn't fully suit city's style.

No 3, Benzima has calmed due to injury and since he has won baloon d'or.

No am NT saying he creates himself...and infact we seen to be on the same page here...what am saying is the team was built it let m say reformed to play to his strength and ofcourse that means leaving out some players that will NT work with the project ...like u also mentioned ... Players like Mertens and insigne seem NT to work well with the project....the only thing i am trying to hammer on is ..the kinda players they have playing behind osinhmen isn't a quality u won't find in any other team in Europe ...just that wen the combination clicks in football it looks like a wild wire...

Talking about city ...ofcourse Guardiola isn't really know to form a team around a striker but he did that this season which i believe was effective to a point but later became less effective...his team has always been know to play triangular jogo bonito around the pitch and picking the right time to pick attackers movement ...but also what am saying is ..if it was osinhmen they got and NT Halland...he would have scored in numbers too

Absolutely. We don't have them.
And our technical department isn't bothered about that.
Whereas it is their responsibility to develop the technical play of the team whether building the team around a player or adapting the players to a specific technical qualities.

All we do in Nigeria is mash together Mercedes engine, Toyota gearbox, Chevrolet suspension and expect miracles.
