Jorginho reveals how he recommends Osimhen
Former Chelsea midfielder, Jorginho revealed he spoke with Napoli Sporting Director Cristiano Giuntoli while the Italian club was trying sign Victor Osimhen. Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Osimhen joined the Serie A side from Lille in 2020. But before joining Napoli, the 24 year old made himself a force to reckon with in less than a season of his stay with the Ligue 1 side.
Jorginho, during this time in 2019 in the group stage of the UEFA Champions league had a feel of what Osimhen can do although Lille lost to Chelsea 2-1 on both legs.
“They are doing incredible things, honestly, I didn’t know the guy playing on the wing [ Kvaratskhelia],” Jorginho told DAZN.
“I knew Osimhen. I had played against him in the Champions League and he had given a hard time to our defenders.
“Giuntoli called me before signing him and I told him to sign him straight away, he is very promising and is doing really well. They [Osimhen and Kvara] are flying and everything is going well. There is winning energy.”
Osimhen is currently top scorer in Serie A with 18 goals from 19 appearances.
