Strasbourg forward Emanuel Emegha has praised Nigeria’s Victor Osimhen, describing him as a “fantastic” player and one of the most impressive strikers in world football today.
Emegha, who will join Chelsea at the end of the season, said he has followed Osimhen’s progress closely from his days at Napoli to his current form at Galatasaray.
He told Africa Top Sports, “Yes, I think he’s fantastic and I’ve been following him for a long time. First at Napoli, now at Galatasaray. Watch him play: with his back to the defender, he receives an aerial ball, a pass that’s difficult to control. It’s no problem for him. He jumps two meters and controls the ball with his chest. As if it were nothing.”
Osimhen’s consistent goal scoring for club and country has reinforced his status as one of football’s elite attackers.
Emegha, who opted to represent the Netherlands instead of Nigeria, has also impressed this season with seven goals and two assists for Strasbourg.
