Romelu Lukaku: Victor Osimhen is the world’s top striker

Belgian striker, Romelu Lukaku, who plays for Inter Milan, has expressed his admiration for Nigerian forward, Victor Osimhen as the top marksman in the world.

In a Serie A matchup on a Wednesday, Inter Milan will play host to Napoli at San Siro’s Stadio Guiseppe Meaza.

Napoli’s Osimhen has been fantastic, while Lukaku has been limited to a few appearances for Inter due to injury.

Osimhen scored nine goals and assisted on two more in eleven games to lead Serie A in scoring.

The 24-year-old has been pivotal for Napoli in the pursuit of their first Scudetto in three decades.

“Napoli have a really strong coach, they are doing a great job, they have a lot of great players. They are in a good moment, they have Osimhen who scores a lot of goals, (Khvicha) Kvaratskhelia who is very strong,” Lukaku told Sky Sports Italia.

“He (Osimhen) is really strong, he is the best now. We have to be honest, he’s doing really well and Napoli are first in the table. We have respect but not fear.”
