Romelu Lukaku rates Osimhen, Spalleti highly ahead of Inter, Napoli clash

Inter Milan forward Romelu Lukaku was full of praises for Nigerian, Victor Osimhen ahead of the Serie A clash with Napoli.

The Nerazzuri host Napoli at the Guiseppe Meazza on Wednesday, January 4 with both sides desperately in need of the three points.

Speaking ahead of the game, Lukaku told Sky Sports that Napoli isn’t a pushover, especially with Victor Osimhen in the side.

“Napoli have a really strong coach, they are doing a great job, they have a lot of great players. They are in a good moment, they have Osimhen who scores a lot of goals, (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia who is very strong.

“He (Osimhen) is really strong, he is the best now. We have to be honest; he’s doing really well, and Napoli are first in the table. We have respect but not fear.”

Osimhen has nine goals and two assists in 11 Serie A games for the league leaders, while Lukaku is struggling for form since his loan switch to Inter Milan.
