Osimhen has made the headlines in the Italian top-flight this season for his quality in front of goal.
Former Italy striker Antonio Di Natale has praised Super Eagles star Victor Osimhen for his ability to deal with defenders in Italy with ease.
Serie A is known as the home of great defenders, but Osimhen has found it easy in the league this season.

The Nigeria striker is racing clear of every other attacker in the race for Capocannoniere this season.

The Nigeria international also has five goals in six Champions League games this season, even though Napoli are currently out.

The former Lille striker has now received praise from Di Natale for his performances this season, with the former Italy striker comparing him to ex-Juventus star Vincenzo Iaquinta.

En route to a fourth-place finish at the 2015 edition of the U-17 AFCON in Niger Republic, Napoli's Victor Osimhen had scored four goals for Nigeria's Golden Eaglets.
“He's a complete striker. But he knows that, looking at him, and thinking back to the past, he reminds me of Vincenzo Iaquinta in the way he gives depth. Then Osimhen always annoys the opposing centre-backs,” Di Natale told Gazzetta dello Sport per Napolista.
Osimhen will hope to continue his incredible form when Napoli take on Udinese in their next Serie A match.
