Summary
Victor Osimhen was heavily linked with a move to Napoli until Liverpool and Manchester United stepped in. All three would do well to sign the forward who boasts electric pace, an intimidating presence and eye for goal. Football Manager 2020 predicts great things for Osimhen including moves to Chelsea and Barcelona for a combined £132 million.
Victor is guaranteed goals whether it be his head, self made or poachers special. His all round game shone through in my test as the Nigerian developed 17 for strength, pace balance and agility in. An aggressive, brave and hard working player Osimhen is best used in the pressing forward role suggesting Liverpool may be an ideal fit.
Not many forwards can dominate in the air, run in behind, create their own chances and then work hard in defence. Osimhen is one of my favourite strikers in FM20 and would be a legend for years to come had his potential been slightly increased.
