Nigeria’s CB William Troost-Ekong has hailed compatriot and Napoli forward, Victor Osimhen, as the best striker in the world at the moment.
Osimhen is enjoying a stellar season with the Serie A leaders, grabbing headlines on and off the pitch and has endeared himself in the heart of Napoli fans.
The striker’s goals have very been important in the Partenopei’s title push, as they maintain a healthy 18 points lead over second-placed Inter Milan in the race for the Scudetto.
Osimhen has scored 19 goals in 22 league games for the club this campaign in this season.
Speaking in the form of his 24 year-old Countryman, Troost-Ekong suggested the former is the top marksman in the game at the moment.
“Osimhen is probably the best striker in the world right now,” Ekong told Sports Italia. “I am happy for him because he has overcome difficult moments.
“It’s a very important year for him, he can win the Scudetto, and then he’ll be able to think about the future.”
