Victor Oshimen poised for success at Napoli - Emmanuel Amunike

Former Super Eagles winger and coach, Emmanuel Amunike has said that striker Victor Oshimen is poised for success in Italy after his move to Serie A giants, Napoli.

Amunike, who was in charge of the youngster at UAE when the Golden Eaglets won the world cup in a chat with Brila.net was confident that Oshimen will be a success in Italy and all he needs to do is work harder

The Super Eagles legend believes that the former Wolfsburg striker can adapt to challenges. “Well, I think he will be a success,” Amunike told Brila.net.

“Becoming a success depends on a whole lot of things and factors, and I think he will be a success, but of course, it all depends on his state of mind, it all depends on his capacity and ability to adapt to the new challenges, there won’t be any doubt, moving from Lille to Napoli is a big step ahead, so there will be a whole lot of expectation from people, looking at the money they bought him from Lille, but I think Victor (Osimhen) is a player that is not afraid of challenges.

Victor is not a player that is scared of challenges or stepping into the shoe. So, I wish him all the best and I believe he will do it.

All we need to do is to support him.” – Emmanuel Amunike.

Osimhen, 21, scored 18 times last season and was one of the revelations of France’s curtailed campaign.

Neither Lille nor Napoli officially gave details of the transfer, but a source from Lille who was familiar with the transfer told AFP that the Ligue 1 team would receive 70 million euros ($82.8 million) with add-ons potentially worth 10 million euros.
