Brazil veteran Antonio Careca had warm words for Victor Osimhen and believes the attacker will have a beneficial impact when he departs Napoli for another team. Read Full Article...
Osimhen was the hero of Napoli's Scudetto victory last season, scoring 26 goals in 32 league games. The 25-year-old is widely expected to leave Partenopei at the end of this season.
Careca praised the striker for his outstanding performances, but believes Napoli will find a suitable successor when he leaves.
I hope he (Osimhen) can continue to perform well like he did in Naples. I met him; he is a respectable young guy who excelled at Napoli, scoring numerous goals and contributing to the club's title success. "If he really leaves, I believe Napoli can find a new player worthy of Osimhen," Careca told Napoli Magazine.
The Nigerian international, who joined Napoli from Ligue 1 club Lille in 2020, has 74 goals and 18 assists in 129 appearances.
