Napoli has your replacement - Osimhen told

Victor Osimhen Victor Osimhen

Former Inter Milan striker Arturo Di believes Napoli has a replacement for striker Victor Osimhen.

Osimhen has been the best player for the Italian side for the last 15 months leading Napoli to their Serie A triumph, scoring 26 goals in the league.

He has, however, been ruled out for 6 weeks due to an injury he sustained during the international break.

This has led to him missing 3 games for Napoli as Giacomo Raspadori and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia have stepped up to the plate.

The Partenopeans play Salernitana this weekend at the Stadio Arechi, but Osimhen would still be sidelined as he still has at least three weeks to return to full fitness.

However, retired Inter Milan man Di Napoli is confident that the Serie A champions have enough firepower to see off Salernitana.

“The absence of Osimhen remains very difficult for Napoli, but the Azzurri have an extremely high level of forwards,” Di Napoli said per Napoli Magazine.

“Raspadori is not making us regret the Nigerian, he is showing good skills and also a feeling with the goal.”
