Osimhen’s profile has been on the rise since he joined Napoli from Ligue 1 side Lille in the summer of 2020.

Former Napoli star Emanuele Calaiò believes Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen has been a better player for the club than Edinson Cavani.

Cavani was once the top striker in Naples, having played for the club from 2011 to 2013 before joining Paris Saint-Germain.

During his time at Napoli, Cavani was a fan-favourite, scoring an impressive 104 goals in 138 games for the club.

Cavani left the club as a favourite, but Calaio, who played with the Uruguayn, says Osimhen has more qualities than the former Manchester United seven.

Osimhen better than ex-Manchester United star Cavani
Osimhen is Napoli’s new hero after leading the club to their first Serie A title in 33 years last season.

The Nigeria international scored 26 league goals last season, including the title-winning goal against Udinese.

Osimhen has continued in the same vein this season, scoring a brace on the opening day of the season to help Napoli begin their title defense with a 3-1 win over Frosinone.

And having watched both Osimhen and Cavani for Napoli, Calaio believes Osimhen is better than all the strikers that have played for Napoli.
