Coach of Napoli Gennaro Gattuso says there’s much more to come from Nigerian striker Victor Osimhen after he came off the bench to inspire Napoli to a 2-0 win over Parma in the Serie A.
The 21 year old started from the bench but with scores at 0-0 and Napoli struggling to create chances, Gattuso handed a debut to the Nigerian in the 60th minute.
His introduction sparked the team to life as they hand four shots on target, two of which landed in the net converted by Lorenzo Insigne and Dries Mertens.
Osimhen almost got himself on the scoresheet with two minutes to go but his effort sailed narrowly wide. Despite that his introduction brought pace, urgency and life to the attack of Napoli.
Gattuso was quick to point out how he changed the game before saying more is yet to come from club’s record signing “ Osimhen is a serious guy, who got here purely on merit. He’s better than what he’s shown on the pitch until now”, the coach said.
