German goalkeeper Kevin Trapp pinpoints Osimhen as the main threat in Eintracht Frankfurt's clash with Napoli in the Champions League.
German international goalkeeper Kevin Trapp has expressed his concern about facing Victor Osimhen ahead of the UEFA Champions League round of 16 first-leg tie on Tuesday.
Trapp will be in goal for Eintracht Frankfurt when they welcome Napoli to the Deutsche Bank Park in Frankfurt and he has pinpointed Victor Osimhen as his major source for concern.
The Nigerian striker has scored 19 goals in 23 games across all competitions which makes him one of the most lethal forwards in football at the moment, earning the respect of Trapp as well.

However, the 32-year-old added an important caveat, "but it’s not just him,” admitting that Napoli have a quality team beyond their prolific number nine.
“We’re talking about a strong team on the whole who are playing very well," Trapp continued highlighting the strengths of the Serie A runaway leaders.
“We know them; they’re an excellent team. They have many points ahead of their pursuers, and this is a fantastic thing,” the German shot-stopper said in acknowledgement of Napoli's consistency this season.

Napoli head into this fixture on Tuesday night as favourites having topped their UEFA Champions League group ahead of Liverpool, Ajax and Rangers to advance to the knockout stages.
Eintracht Frankfurt on the other hand are in this season's Champions League as winners of last season's Europa League and they barely qualified for this round second in their group behind Tottenham but ahead of Marseille and Sporting Lisbon.
