Gabon and Galatasaray midfielder Mario Lemina has showered his teammate Victor Osimhen with praises saying he is the best striker he has ever seen.
Lemina said Osimhen is a complete player whose work rate is incomparable with all the strikers he played with in his career.
“Let me tell you, I have played with world-class strikers, but there is no one like Victor Osimhen,” Lemina said.
“There is nothing like him. Even on the days he doesn’t find the back of the net, his contribution is constant. He is a persistent threat and never stops pressing the opposition.”
“He defends with us.
“On top of being a complete finisher, I’ve never seen a forward this hungry for the ball. His work rate is relentless.”
In their Champions League round of 16 first leg tie last Tuesday Osimhen headed down for Lemina to nod in the only goal of the match played at Rams Park.
Osimhen and Galatasaray will travel to Liverpool on Tuesday for the second leg Champions League tie. He will be hoping to put up another big performance that will boost his rising profile in Europe.
