Osimhen names two toughest defenders he ever faced

Galatasaray striker, Victor Osimhen, has named the two toughest defenders he has ever faced in his career.

Osimhen has played against top defenders across several top clubs in Europe.

Speaking during a recent interview with River Rhodes, the Nigerian international named Fulham’s Calvin Bassey and Tottenham Hotspur’s Cristian Romero as the toughest defenders he has played against.

“I will say, Calvin Bassey. First of all, in training. That guy is very strong. I think currently he’s actually the best defender in Africa and of course one of the best defenders in the Premier League,” Osimhen said, as shared on Instagram.

“Also, Romero of Spurs – he’s actually a very intelligent defender. He gave me a hard time when we met.”
