Former Chelsea striker, Loic Remy says red-hot Super Eagles forward Victor Osimhen is not his enemy contrary to report that he ‘hates’ the Nigerian, SportingLife.ng can report.
The 20-year-old former Golden Eaglets star is currently the topscorer of Ligue 1 side Lille with nine goals and two assists from 17 appearances so far this season.
Osimhen has kept the French star out of the team but Remy has revealed that he feels no animosity toward the Nigerian.
‘Victor has been a discovery for everyone. Once again, we must emphasize the recruitment of the club, very wise in its choices. I can now detect the big potential players, who are assiduous and serious in what they do. Victor is one of those,’ Remy told the club’s official website.
‘In training, he puts the intensity, it is a true finisher, a very good scorer. I see him working after the sessions, bodybuilding, taking time to take care of his body.
‘He has a complete profile and I promise him a very bright future if he continues with this mentality. People sometimes make the comparison between Victor and me, because we are both attackers.

‘But there is no animosity between us. It’s someone I really appreciate. On the field, we are also complementary, we have already proved this season when the coach has aligned us both.’
Osimhen made a flying start in the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers as he scored three times to help the Super Eagles to wins against the Benin Republic and Lesotho.
