Napoli Boss Luciano Spalleti has given accolades to Victor Osimhen, as he described him as "a complete striker".

The 22-year-old striker hit four goals in Napoli’s first pre-season friendly under Luciano Spalletti, trashing local side Anaunia 12-0.

The new coach set his team out in a 4-2-3-1 formation, with Matteo Politano, Eljif Elmas and Adam Ounas playing behind Osimhen.

Osimhen made the coach aware of what he’s capable of doing as he grabbed four goals inside 37 minutes at the Dimaro Folgarida.

Speaking to the club’s press before Sunday’s game, Spalletti described him as a complete striker, who can still improve.

“He will certainly be a foothold for us and a strength of this team.

“He is a complete striker, he knows how to score and he knows how to fight for his teammates.

“It is clear that he also has aspects to improve and this is where we need to work, but it has already given great availability,” the coach said.
