Super Eagles gaffer, Gernot Rohr has heaped praise on Lille goal poacher Victor Osimhen describing him as player with a great mentality, power and speed.
However, the Franco-German coach remarked that the striker must be in constant competition, as he seeks greener pastures away from Lille Metropole after a season where he found the back of the net sixteen times.
As Napoli and Lille are set to agree on Osimhen’s move, the coach aired his concern about the move.
“Victor has a great player mentality. And often, in our chats, I advised him to take an important step and go to a level club, where he can find the right space to play continuously and grow. He is a guy who loves to work hard and who needs to be in constant competition. I hope Victor talks about it with Gattuso and can then find the right role within the Naples project”, the coach said.
Rohr went a step further by speaking on the comparison between the young forward and that of Ivory Coast legend Didier Drogba ” I don’t know, it’s an important comparison, but I don’t rule it out.
“He has everything he needs to become a player of that level. Victor is someone who always wants to grow and improve, technically and tactically. Then he is a smart boy, intelligent and I repeat: he has everything it takes to get to the level of Didier Drogba”.
