Osimhen has been flying Napoli’s colours high in both the Italian top flight and the Champions League this season.
Former Inter Milan star Beppe Bergomi has likened Super Eagles striker Victor Osimhen to Brazil legend Ronaldo de Lima but says he will not solve all of Napoli’s problems ahead of their Champions League clash against AC Milan.
Napoli take on Serie A champions Milan in the second leg of their Champions League quarter-final clash at the Diego Armando Maradona Stadium on Tuesday night.
Napoli count on Osimhen
The Neapolitans will be hoping to overturn a first-leg 1-0 defeat when they set the ball rolling on Tuesday night.
Osimhen missed the first leg due to an adductor injury, but he is available for the return leg after making his comeback over the weekend.

The Nigerian striker’s return is a big boost for Napoli, but Bergomi believes the Nigerian is not going to solve all their problems, even though he is as good as Ronaldo de Lima.
Ronaldo is arguably the best striker to ever grace the game, enjoying his best spell at Inter Milan.
Osimhen is also currently having his best season yet in his professional career, with 25 goals in all competitions, including 21 in Serie A and four in the Champions League.
Osimhen will not solve Napoli problems- Bergomi
But while Bergomi believes Osimhen is a top player, he insists Napoli’s problems will not just go away with the Nigerian back in the side.

Osimhen denied the chance to break ex-Barcelona star’s record on his return
Osimhen made his return to action, but Napoli failed to win in two games after playing a draw against Hellas Verona.
"Osimhen, like Ronaldo, the phenomenon for Inter? In those days there was a different kind of football. Napoli is well structured regardless of the centre-forward,” Bergomi told Sky.
“Definitely having Osimhen gives you a sense of security, but you can't think that it will solve all your problems.
Napoli have two very important absences with Milan because they lack the two most physical players.

Physicality has always been a problem for Napoli, this year they tried to make up for it, but in the past, they suffered. Milan are a team that takes you a lot from a physical point of view, in terms of individual duels and marking," the ex-Inter Milan star added.
