Fenerbahce manager, José Mourinho, has showered praises on Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen, describing him as a “fantastic player,” reports Completesports.com.
Mourinho, who managed Serie A club AS Roma during his time in Italy, had several opportunities to face Osimhen, who was then spearheading the attack for Napoli. The Portuguese tactician has continued to follow the Nigerian forward’s career and remains impressed with his talents.
Recently, Osimhen secured a loan move to Turkish giants, Galatasaray, and Mourinho, now in charge of Fenerbahce, didn’t hold back in expressing his admiration.
“If I had the money, I would buy Osimhen for €70-75 million without a second thought,” Mourinho said in an interview with Turkish outlet Fanatik. “He is a fantastic player. His pace, strength, and goal-scoring ability are rare to find. Galatasaray is lucky to have him, even if it’s just on loan.”
Osimhen’s loan move to Galatasaray has sparked excitement in the Turkish Super Lig, and with comments like Mourinho’s, the spotlight on the Super Eagles striker continues to grow.
Osimhen’s performance this season is highly anticipated, and fans will be eager to see how his presence impacts Galatasaray’s title ambitions.
