Nigeria international Victor Osimhen’s agent William D’Avila, believes his client will form a key component of new SSC Napoli manager Luciano Spalletti’s squad.
The Italian tactician has replaced Gennaro Gattuso as the Napoli manager after the team failed to qualify for next season’s UEFA Champions League.
Spalletti’s appointment was confirmed on Saturday as the Little Donkeys prepared for the 2021/22 campaign which will start in August.
D’Avila praised Napoli for appointing Spalletti and he also backed Osimhen to shine under the 62-year-old tactician.
“It will be great for the team to have a top coach like him [Spalleti]. 4-2-3-1 will be the formation and Victor will be the offensive force,” D’Avilla told Kiss Kiss Napoli.
“Champions League? He is disappointed with the lack of qualification, but the Europa League is a prestigious tournament.
“It was incredible, Victor was sure they would beat Verona. I don’t know what happened during the game,” he continued.
“He is in Nigeria with his family and will then join the national team for two friendlies before going on vacation.”
Osimhen scored 10 goals from 24 matches for Napoli in Serie A and he helped the team finish fifth on the 2020/21 standings.
The 22-year-old is part of Nigeria’s squad which is set to take on Cameroon in an international friendly game on June 4. (African Football)
