Italian newspapers were full of accolades for Napoli forward Victor Osimhen on Monday.

The Nigeria international scored in Napoli’s 1-1 home draw against Cagliari at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Sunday afternoon.

Osimhen was set up by a brilliant lob from Lorenzo Insigne in the 13th minute of the encounter.

The striker also had a goal wrongly ruled out for offside in the game.

According to tuttomercatoweb.com, La Gazzetta Dello Sport described Osimhen a nightmare for the Sardians.

Tuttosport labelled him a bomber, as well as a driving force.

In their match ratings, each of Gazzetta dello Sport, Corriere dello Sport and Tuttosport gave the former Lille star an impressive seven out of 10.

The 22-year-old, who has battled injuries and Covid-19 this season, has scored eight goals in 20 Serie A appearances.
