Pinnick: Osimhen capable of breaking Maradona’s records at Napoli

Nigerian Football Federation boss, Amaju Pinnick, believes Victor Osimhen is capable of breaking Diego Maradona’s record at Napoli.

The Lille striker is a step away from joining the Azzurri.

“I think Victor Osimhen is an excellent signing for Napoli,” Pinnick told Radio Kiss Kiss.

“I’ve followed them from when they had Diego Armando Maradona. Naples is a proud city and also in football terms.

“Osimhen’s a source of pride of African football. He’s someone who is disciplined but focused on objectives, and if he wants something, he knows how to get it.

“He made the right decision for his career. I already believe he’ll receive the right support from the club and its fans.

“Napoli are the right club for him to achieve important results, and Osimhen will always give his best.

“I’ll say it now: Victor will do everything possible to match and even break the records set by a legend like Maradona.

“If he gets the right support, I guarantee he’ll stick to his word and make you all proud. Believe in him and he’ll help the team achieve their objectives.”
