Victor Osimhen has been tagged the next Didier Drogba but Super Eagles handler Gernot Rohr has claimed that the Napoli striker is yet to be there.
The 21-year-old striker joined Serie A side in a mouth-watering deal making him the most expensive African player of all time.
The Nigerian international has gone on to score two hat-tricks in two matches for Gennaro Gattuso men and many believe he has arrived at the world stage.
In an interview published by Complete Sports cited from Italian magazine Ilnapolionline, the German gaffer was asked if Osimhen has reached the status of being compared to the Chelsea legend and he said.
“He is not yet like Drogba, he could become one by working hard to enhance his skills. I saw in the Champions League how Napoli plays, Victor will be able to take advantage of the spaces created by his new teammates.
"He is intelligent and prepared, he knows how to adapt to his companions and the game system. Deadly in spaces, he can play as first striker or with a partner. He has physique and speed, excellent left and right and above all great feeling with the goal,”said Rohr.
