Football fans across the globe has hailed Napoli and Super Eagles forward, Victor Osimhen, after a brilliant display against Jose Mourinho’s side, AS Roma.

The Partonepei extended their lead at the top of the Serie A table to 13 points. Thanks to a Giovanni Simeone’s 86 minutes strike.

Osimhen unleashed an unstoppable volley into the upper roof of the net when he controlled a cross from Kvaratskhelia in the first half, to extend his goal tally in the league to 14.

The former Lille striker is having a fantastic season with Napoli. Last month, former Chelsea striker, Romelu Lukaku described Osimhen as the best striker for now.

“He (Osimhen) is really strong, he his the best now. We have to be honest, he’s doing really well and Napoli are first in the table.”

Some football fans believe the Lagos born striker can easily replace Benzema in Real Madrid.

‘Victor Osimhen will easily replace Karim Benzema at Real Madrid. He’s the best striker in the world right now, Erling Haaland doesn’t even come close.’ A fan write after the game against Roma.

Another fan tweeted ; ‘Osimhen’s hold-up play levelled up this season.He can link with others or power away from his marker. Aggressive pressing always been there.

‘If Haaland was made in a lab as a machine goalscorer,I’d say Osimhen was aborted at 70% of that process to add some other features instead.’
