Former Italy striker Beppe Signori has hailed Victor Osimhen as the new Didier Drogba after the Nigerian impressive start to the campaign.

Osimhen netted twice as Napoli came back from two goals to draw 2-2 against Premier League club Leicester City in their UEFA Europa League clash at the King Power Stadium on Thursday.

The 22-year-old scored 10 goals in 26 league appearances for the Partenopei last season.

Signori believes the former Lille striker has all the attributes to become a fearsome striker like Drogba.

“They are very similar, physically and technically,” Signori told Tuttomercatoweb

“He has everything: technique, strength, elevation, speed and power.

“He is a player who is still young, he has room for improvement and I think he has shown a part of what he can do.”
