Arsenal legend Thiery Henry said he would want to see more consistent performances from Napoli top striker Victor Osimhen.
The French U-21 coach who was speaking against the backdrop of Osimhen’s performance in Napoli’s 1-1 draw against Barcelona in their Champions League Wednesday said: “I want to see him take the next step and be more consistent with his output, but to be able to win the title with Napoli the way he did will stay in history forever, so all the best to him in his career.”
“At the AFCON, we saw him, he can lead the line, run into the channels, and he has excellent hold-up play.
“How good can he be? He showed last year what he could do and won the African Player of The Year along the way, winning the Scudetto with Napoli and getting to the final with Nigeria.”
Osimhen has been tipped to leave Napoli at the end of the season despite signing a contract extension till 2026. Henry said that it would do his career a lot of good if he can move to another league.
“I’d like to see him now, what he can do in the Premier League or wherever he’s going or Paris Saint-Germain. Not Arsenal, I won’t go there.
Meanwhile Osimhen, due to fever, trained alone Friday ahead of Napoli’s Serie A clash against Cagliari.
Napoli said in an official statement. The 25-year-old worked in the gym and not on the pitch, while his teammate Cyril Ngonge trained separately on the pitch and in the gym due to a slight injury.
