Osimhen should have remained in Napoli, played 3 or 4 games for Nigeria, bang in some goals and distressed top clubs with goal scoring issues will thirst for him in January. A 3-month lay off is nothing in football for a 25 year old.

Why do I say he has shot himself in the foot?
Let me analyze:

In Turkey, the only thing that can save his career trajectory is IF he bangs in 30 league goals (35+ goals in all comps).
If Osimhen finishes with 10-15 goals in the Turkish league, then he is no different from the Batshuayis, Zahas, Hallers, Mitrovics who are average level.

Ironically, if Osimhen scores this same 10-15 goals at Chelsea, his level would still remain same especially since everyone knows Chelsea is a crisis club.

Lukaku knows this game and has played it well.
When Man Utd rubbished him he refused to take the bait and move to the West Hams and Evertons. He has only played for top clubs, Inter and now Napoli.

The result?
Still considered top striker although with a few issues.


Let me also add that, by moving to Galatasaray, Osimhen has shot himself in the foot. There is now a pertinent question; Why didn't he move to Chelsea on this same loan??

Makes no sense.



Osimhen better prays he bangs in 30+ goals in Turkey otherwise he is cooked.

ITK ok
