Former Napoli chief scout has explained why Napoli did not sign Victor Osimhen early, appearing to aim a subtle dig at the striker despite bright Galatasaray start.
The Super Eagles star has started brightly for the Turkish champions but could be on the move again soon
A former scout for Napoli has opened up on how he spotted Victor Osimhen long before the club signed him in what looks like a sly dig at the striker. "When I got back, I made my report on the game and noted that there were two other strong players: one was Soumaré, a midfielder, and the other was Osimhen. This striker ran a lot, covering the entire area—maybe he even ran too much . But he was truly unstoppable.”Mantovani claimed the club overlooked him because he didn't fit their style, but he was considered after Gennaro Gattuso took over at the club. He helped the club win the 2022/23 Scudetto, their first in 33 years.
