Jose Mourinho of AS Roma believes Victor Osimhen is an elite star, on the same level as former Chelsea striker Didier Drogba.
The Nigeria international shone in Napoli’s 2-1 victory over Roma on Sunday night, scoring an outstanding goal similar to one he got when the two teams clashed earlier in the season.
When asked about the comparison between Osimhen and Drogba at a press conference after the game, Mourinho said: “He is of the same level as Drogba, but Didier didn’t dive.”
He added that if Osimhen were to move to England one day, he would need to stop diving in order to succeed due to tougher regulations in the Premier League.
With 14 goals from 16 matches, the Nigerian star is currently Serie A’s top scorer. His compatriot Ademola Lookman follows behind him with 12 goals.
