Leicester City gaffer Brendan Rodgers has showered encomiums on Super Eagles striker, Victor Osimhen following his impressive performance against the Foxes in the Europa League.
Osimhen scored two goals to help Napoli snatched a 2-2 draw in the first match of the Europa League clash.
Speaking after the match, the Foxes trainer spoke highly of the former Lille and Wolfsburg forward.
“We had some [Leicester] players getting their first 90 minutes of the season as well, and then obviously, their big striker [Osimhen], who is £70-odd-million, so you can see his quality, and he gets his two goals,” Rodgers told the club’s official portal.
The tactician was also impressed by Zambia international, Daka who was impressive as well as Boubakary Soumare.
“I thought [Soumare] was excellent in the game. He had a little spell at the beginning of the second half,” Rodgers continued.
“He looked a little leggy, but then he’d done one or two pieces of skill and came back into the game. He was good. That was his first 70 minutes, so I am delighted with that.
“[Daka] is always a goal threat. [I am] disappointed that he could not get the goal, because it was a great finish, but players are young [and still] learning at their level, and how we work, and I am sure they will prove to be very, very good players this season.”
Another Super Eagles striker, Kelechi Iheanacho recorded an assist in the encounter.
