William D'Avila, the agent of Napoli forward Victor Osimhen says the Nigerian is gradually heading to his peak after his unconvincing start at the club.

Osimhen, who was a big-money signing last summer from the French club, Lille has failed to make an impact on the Serie A giants.

This is partly due to a shoulder injury he sustained playing for the Super Eagles in November. He only resumed in January after missing some games as he tested positive for coronavirus.

The striker has however scored twice in his last three league outings for the Blues and D’Avila is adamant his client will make a huge impact at the club.

“He feels very good after yesterday’s goal and performance,” D’Avila told kisskissnapoli.it.

“In general he is returning to peak form and if he continues like this nobody will be able to stop him.

“He needed a period of adaptation but now he’s mostly fine with his head, he’s focused.

“The Champions League goal is very important for Victor as well as for the team. ”

D’Avila also addressed speculations the former Wolfsburg player could leave Napoli at the end of the season if the club bring in a new manager to replace Gennaro Gattuso.

“At this moment Victor is not thinking about the next coach but only about doing well with Gattuso and his team-mates to reach the Champions League,”he added.

“He will remain in Naples regardless of who the future manager will be. He doesn’t think about getting paid so much.

“He knows it is an important investment by Napoli but this does not affect the concentration.

“The next two games are important and I hope Napoli wins."
