Former Napoli striker Antonio Floro Flores has slammed Victor Osimhen, labeling the Nigerian international a mediocre player.
According to Flores, the 26-year-old has turned his back on the city that helped shape his career.
The 43-year-old also urged the former African Footballer of the Year to consider continuing his career in the Saudi Pro League.
Speaking to Kiss Kiss Napoli, Flores claimed Osimhen only performed well for a single season.
“Osimhen? He has to go to Saudi Arabia. I’m tired of talking about him. I get annoyed talking about a mediocre footballer. He only did well for one year,” Flores said.
“We’re talking about a character that bothers me. A man who leaves a city that made him what he is.
“Not even his mother knows him, and yet, he removed the Napoli shirts from his Instagram profile.
“If I were his agent, I’d take him to Saudi Arabia. I don’t think he realizes it, but he’s not a champion.”
Osimhen is expected to leave Napoli permanently this summer following the completion of his season-long loan spell at Galatasaray.
The former Lille striker scored 37 goals in 41 competitive appearances for Galatasaray, helping the club to two domestic titles.
